In this video, Mr. Krug discusses the concept of thermodynamic and kinetic control, in which some reactions take place so slowly their rate cannot be effectively measured. Then, he shows how thermodynamics relates to the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction, and how we can use the ΔG of a reaction to calculate its equilibrium constant, K
