Changing Conditions Flashcards
What are the three types of changes in conditions ? TCP
Temperature
Concentration
Pressure
What does an increased conecentraion do and a decreased concentration
Increased- equillibraim shifts to the right to reduce concentration of reactant
Decreased- equilibrium shfits to the left to increase concentration of reactants
What does an increased and decreased temperature do to a reaction ?
Increased temperature: equilibrium shifts to reduce the temp
Decreased temperature: equilibrium shifts to increase the temperature
What does an increase and decrease in pressure do to a reaction ?
Increase- equilibrium shifts to reduce the pressure because fewer molecules
Decrease- equilibrium shifts to increase the pressure because more molecules
What’s Le Chatelier’s principle ?
If you change the conditions of a reversible reaction, the system will try to counteract the change
