5.6.2.4 The Effect of Changing Conditions on Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What does the relative amount of reactants and products depend on?
A
- conditions of reaction
2
Q
What happens to a system if it is at equilibrium and a change is made to the conditions?
A
- system responds to counteract the change
3
Q
How can the effects of changing conditions be predicted by?
A
- using Le Châtelier’s Principle
4
Q
What can alter the equilibrium position?
A
- changing concentration
- changing pressure (if substances are gaseous)
- changing temperature
5
Q
What does a catalyst do in terms of equilibrium?
A
- doesn’t alter position
- increases rate at which equilibrium is established
6
Q
What happens if equilibrium moves to the right?
A
- more products will form
7
Q
What happens if equilibrium moves to the left?
A
- more reactants will form
