Le Chatelier's Principle Flashcards
What is Le Chatelier’s principle
if you change the conditions of a reversible reaction, the system will try and counteract the change
What happens if you increase the temperaute
the equillibrium will move to the endothermic direction to try and decrease to equal it out
What happens if you decrease the temperature
the equillibrium will move to the exothermic direction to try and equal it out
What happens if you increase the pressure
The equillibrium will move in the direction of less particles
What happens if you decrease the pressure
The equallibrium will move to the direction of more particles
What happens if increase the concentration of the reactants
It will level it out by making more products
What happens if decrease the concerntration of the prodcut
It will level it out by reducing the amount
