Factors Affecting Equilibrium Flashcards
When will a reaction reach equilibrium?
In a closed system
What is the name of the principle and what is it?
Le chatelier’s principle, if a system is at equilibrium and a change is made to any of the conditions, then the system reponds to counteract the change
What happens if you increase concentration of the reactants?
More products will be reach and equilibrium will be upsetted, however in a closed system this will go back at equilibrium but simply the amount of products will be more than reactants
How does temperature affect equilibrium?
The endothermic reaction will be favoured increasing amount of the endothermic side, so there are gonna more products/reactants on that side but the equilibrium will be restored
How does pressure in the reactants (moles) affect a closed system?
The equilibrium will shift to the right, more products are formed
