Announcements (previous ones) or follow @3k4reactors Important: Details about the midterm are posted. Tutorial 4 has been posted; it is due as assignment 3A on 11 February. Only questions 1, 2 and 3 are due for hand-in. Question 4 should be attempted on your own though. No late hand-ins on this one, because solutions will be posted right away so you can study for the midterm on 13 February. Note that in question 1, the correct value for \(K_C= 100\,\text{mol.m}^{-3}\). Complete solutions have been posted for assignment 2. Since there is a midterm for 3P tonight, I've been asked to provide my hand written notes to the class so you can catch up afterwards. Here they are. Good luck for 3P. The tutorials on Monday on Tuesday are a chance for you to review any questions from your studies for the midterm. Come with questions and concepts you don't understand.
