This document discusses the key concepts of chemical equilibrium. It defines reversible reactions as those that can proceed in both the forward and backward directions simultaneously. At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant. Several examples of reversible reactions are provided. Characteristics of chemical equilibrium include the constancy of concentrations at equilibrium and the independence of the equilibrium constant from the initial concentrations. Le Chatelier's principle is introduced, which states that if a system at equilibrium experiences a change, it will shift its position to counteract that change. The effects of changing concentration, pressure, temperature, and adding a catalyst are described based on this principle. Industrial processes for maximizing yields of important chemicals

The branch of chemistry, which deals with the study of reaction rates and their mechanisms, called chemical kinetics.
Thermodynamics tells only about the feasibility of a reaction whereas chemical kinetics tells about the rate of a reaction.
For example, thermodynamic data indicate that diamond shall convert to graphite but in reality the conversion rate is so slow that the change is not perceptible at all.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting

Si RNA

Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells

MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
2. REVERSIBLE REACTIONS
• A reaction which can go in forward &
backward direction simultaneously is called
reversible reaction.
Depicting Equilibrium
In a system at equilibrium, both the forward and
reverse reactions are running simultaneously.
We write the chemical equation with a double
arrow:
3. SOME EXAMPLES OF REVERSIBLE
REACTIONS
CaCO3(s) CO2 (g) + CaO(s)
H2 (g) + I2 (g) 2 HI(g)
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
CH3COOC2H5(aq) + H2O(aq) CH3COOH(aq) + C2H5OH(aq)
4. Chemical Equilibrium
(Definitions)
A chemical system where the concentrations of
reactants and products remain constant over time.
On the molecular level, the system is dynamic: The
rate of change is the same in either the forward or
reverse directions.
As a system approaches equilibrium, both the
forward and reverse reactions are occurring.
At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions
are proceeding at the same rate.
5.
6. A System at Equilibrium
• Once equilibrium is achieved, the amount of
each reactant and product remains constant.
Concentrations become constant Rates become equal
7. CHARACTERISTICS OF CHEMICAL
EQUILIBRIUM
1- Constancy of concentrations
When a chemical reaction is established in a
closed vessel at constant temperature conc. of
various species in reaction mixture become
constant & the reaction mixture at equilibrium
is called Equilibrium mixture & the conc. At
equilibrium is called equilibrium conc.
UNITS: moles/litre

9. • No matter what the starting composition of
reactants and products, the same ratio of
concentrations is realized when equilibrium is
reached at a certain temperature and pressure.
10. 3-Equilibrium cannot be attained in
open vessel
• Equilibrium can be established only if the
reaction vessel is closed & no part of the
reactants or products is allowed to escape out.
• In an open vessel, the gaseous reactants or
products may escape out into the atmosphere
leaving behind no possibility of attaining
equilibrium.
• However equilibrium can be attained when all
the reactants & products are in the same phase
e.g,ethanol & ethanoic acid.
11. 4-A catalyst cannot change the
equilibrium point
• Catalysts increase the rate of both the forward
and reverse reactions. Equilibrium is achieved
faster, but the equilibrium composition remains
unaltered. A catalyst lowers the activation
energy barrier of a reaction. The diagram
shows that the catalyst lowers the activation
energy for the forward and reverse reactions by
the same amount. Consequently a catalyst
does not affect the position of the equilibrium
but it does speed up the rate at which
equilibrium is reached.
12.
13. 5-Equilibrium constant is
independent of the initial conc. of
reactants
6- At equilibrium the Gibbs free energy (G) is
the minimum & any change taking place at
equilibrium proceeds without change in free
energy i.e; ∆G=0
14. Law of Mass actionLaw of Mass action
(EquiLibriuM ExprEssion)(EquiLibriuM ExprEssion)
• Two Norwegian chemists, Guldberg & Waage
studied experimentally a large no of equilibrium
reactions. In 1864, they postulated a
generalization called LAW OF MASS ACTION
which states that:
• “The rate of chemical reaction is proportional to
the active masses of reactants”
• ACTIVE MASS: means the molar conc. i.e. no. of
moles per liter expressed by enclosing formula of
substance in square brackets.
16. • EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT can be defined as:
• The product of equilibrium conc. Of products
divided by the product of equilibrium conc. Of
reactants, with each conc. Term raised to a
power equal to the coefficient of substance in
the balanced equation.
19. Equilibrium Expression
• 4 NH4 NH33(g) + 7 O(g) + 7 O22(g)(g) ↔↔ 4 NO4 NO22(g) + 6H(g) + 6H22O(g)O(g)

21. What Does the Value of K Mean?
• If K >> 1, the reaction is
product-favored; product
predominates at
equilibrium.
• If K << 1, the reaction is
reactant-favored;
reactant predominates at
equilibrium.
22. The Equilibrium Constant in terms
of Partial Pressures
Because pressure is proportional to concentration
for gases, the equilibrium expression can also be
written in terms of partial pressures (instead of
concentration):
23. Relationship between Kc and Kp
From the ideal gas law we know that:
Substituting P=[A]RT into the expression for Kp for
each substance, the relationship between Kc and Kp
becomes: Kp = Kc (RT)∆n
24. Where:
• Partial pressures are proportional to
concentration via PV = nRT.
• Thus, for gas reactions, partial pressures can
be used in place of concentrations.
∆n = (moles of gaseous product) – (moles of gaseous
reactant)
• To be able to convert between Kc and Kp,
we need a relationship between
concentration and pressure.
26. Where,∆n=(c+d)-(a+b),the difference in
sums of coefficients of gaseous products &
reactants.
• The Δn is the change in the number of moles
of gas when going from reactants to products.
• When does Kp equal Kc?
When ∆n=0, Kp=Kc
• Equilibrium constants are really defined in
terms of activity, not concentration.
27. PROBLEM
• For the reaction 2SO3(g) 2SO2(g) + O2(g), we
can write two equilibrium expressions
• [SO2]= 0.27 mol/L [O2] = 0.40mol/L [SO3] =
0.33mol/L, calculate the value of Kc?

reactants & products are in liquid phase.
• Also called Homogeneous equilibrium.
• For-example alcohols & acids react to form
esters & water.

30. Le ChateLier’s
PrinCiPLe
• “If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a
change in temperature, pressure, or the
concentration of one of the components, the
system will shift its equilibrium position to the
right or to the left so as to counteract the
effect of the disturbance.”
• “When a stress is applied on a system in
equilibrium the system tends to adjust itself
so as to reduce the stress.”
31. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN
CONCENTRATION
• When the conc. Of any of the reactants or
products is changed the equilibrium shifts in a
direction so as to reduce the change in conc.
That was made.
• Addition of inert gas does not affect the
equilibrium position.
32. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN
PRESSURE
• When pressure is increased on a gaseous
equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift
in direction which tends to decrease the
pressure.
33. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN
TEMPERATURE
• When temperature of a reaction is increased
the equilibrium shifts in a direction in which
heat is absorbed.
• The increase of temperature favors the
reverse change in an exothermic reaction &
the forward change in an endothermic
reaction.
34. EFFECT OF CATALYST
• A catalyst lowers the activation energy barrier
for any reaction….in both forward and reverse
directions!
• A catalyst will decrease the time it takes to
reach equilibrium.
• A catalyst does not effect the composition of
the equilibrium mixture
