Dynamic Equilibrium and Le chatelier's principle Flashcards
How will equilibrium be affected if temperature is increased?
The equilibirum will move in the endothermic direction to absorb the extra heat
How will equilibrium be affected if temperature is decreased?
The equilibirum will move in the exothermic direction to release the extra heat
How will equilibrium be affected if pressure is decreased?
The equilibirum will move towards the side that has more molecules of gas to increase pressure
How will equilibrium be affected if pressure is increased?
The equilibirum will move towards the side that has fewer molecules of gas to reduce pressure
How will equilibrium be affected if concentration of the reactants is increased?
The equilibirum will move to the right to use up the reactants (making more products)
How will equilibrium be affected if concentration of the products is increased?
The equilibrium will move to the left to use up the products (making more reactants)
How will equilibrium be affected if concentration of the reactants is decreased?
The equilibirum will move to the left to use up the products (making less products)
How will equilibrium be affected if concentration of the products is decreased?
The equilibirum will move to the left to use up the reactants (making less reactants)
