C5.3.2 - Equlilbrium position

Question 1

What is equilibrium position?

Answer 1

The ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of products to reactants

Question 2

When the concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of the products what position is the equilibrium?

Answer 2

On the left

Question 3

When the concentration of reactants is less than the concentration of the products what position is the equilibrium?

Answer 3

On the right

Question 4

What happens to the equilibrium position if you increase the pressure?

Answer 4

The equilibrium position moves in the direction of the fewest moles of gas

Question 5

What happens to the equilibrium position if you increase the concentration of a substance?

Answer 5

The equilibrium position moves in the direction away from that substance

Question 6

What happens to the equilibrium position if you decrease the pressure?

Answer 6

The equilibrium position will move towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.

Question 7

What happens to the equilibrium position if you decrease the concentration of a substance?

Answer 7

The equilibrium position will move towards the side where the concentration of a substance has been decreased

Question 8

What happens to the equilibrium position if you increase the temperature?

Answer 8

The equilibrium position moves in the direction of the endothermic change

Question 9

What happens to the equilibrium position if you decrease the temperature?

Answer 9

The equilibrium position moves in the direction of the exothermic change
