List of Classic Problems that should be understood thoroughly:

• mixing of perfect gases
• melting/freezing and vaporization/condensation under equilibrium conditions
• freezing of supercooled water
• equilibrium of NO₂ and N₂O₄ gases
• equilibrium problems for reactions of perfect gases
  (and possibly pure solids and/or liquids)
• solving equilibrium problems by the method of successive approximation
• equilibrium vapor pressure of a pure liquid
  (or equilibrium sublimation pressure of a pure solid)
• change in melting point with pressure
• conditions under which a solid-solid phase transition occurs
  (by change in T if D_trS more important; by change in P if D_trV more important)
• equilibrium problems in solutions; use of activity coefficients
• weak-acid dissociation; ion hydrolysis; solubility problems; pH
