16
Q

Using A+B <–> C+D:
What would happen to B at equilibrium if we added more A?

A

Since A reacts with B to for C and D, adding more A decreases B

17
Q

How can you change pressure of a solution at equilibrium?

A

1, Add or remove a gaseous reactant or product

#2, Add an inert gas, (one not involved in the reaction)
#3, Change the volume of the container

18
Q

What effect does changing the pressure have?

A

Equilibrium shifts to the side with fewer moles of gas

19
Q

In an exothermic reaction, which way will the equilibrium shift?

A

To the left

20
Q

In an endothermic reaction, which way will equilibrium shift?

A

To the right

21
Q

Between concentration, pressure and temperature, which will effect the K value?

A

Temperature

22
Q

What can change in pressure only apply to?

A

Gaseous reactions
