Endothermic
Delta H is greater than 0
Exothermic
Delta H is less than 0
If endothermic:
What happens is I remove a product? Add a product?
R: process will move to right
A: process will move to the left
If endothermic:
What happens if I remove a reactant? Add reactant?
R: process will proceed to the left
A: process will proceed to the left
If endothermic:
What happens if I increase container volume? Decrease volume?
I: reaction will proceed to the side of the reaction that has the most moles
D: reaction will proceed to the side of the reaction that has the least moles
If endothermic:
What happens if I increase the pressure of the system? Decrease?
I: container volume decreases; reaction will proceed to side that has the least amount of moles
D: container volume increases; reaction will proceed to side that has the most amount of moles
If endothermic:
What happens if I increase the heat of the system? Decrease?
I: proceed to the right; endothermic process shall absorb heat
D: proceed to the left; exothermic process shall release heat
If endothermic:
What happens if I add a catalyst?
reaction will happen quickly towards equilibrium; but reaction will not favor one side over the other
If Q < K…
equilibrium reached by formation of products
If Q = K…
equilibrium is reached
If Q > K…
reverse reaction occurs to reach equilibrium
