C5.3.2 - Equilibrium Position Flashcards
What is the equilibrium position?
The ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of products to reactants
If the concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of products, where will the equilibrium position be?
Left
If the concentration of reactants is lesser than the concentration of products, where will the equilibrium position be?
Right
What happens to the equilibrium position if you increase the pressure?
It will move in the direction with the lower amount of moles
What happens to the equilibrium position if you increase the temperature?
It will move in the direction of the endothermic change
What happens to the equilibrium position if you increase the concentration?
It will move in the direction away from the substance that is increasing in concentration
