Le Chateliers Principle Flashcards
what happens when you add more concentration
the reaction will favor the opposite side
what happens when you remove a reactant
it will go towards whichever is removed
what happens when you increase volume and decrease pressure
it moves to which ever side has MORE moles of GAS
what happens when you decrease volume but increase pressure
when volume is decreased it favours the side with fewer moles of gas
increasing temp in an endothermic reaction
co + energy = 2co + o2
shift to the right (away from reaction)
——–>
decreasing temp of an endothermic reaction
Co + energy = 2co + o2
shifts to the left (towards it)
increasing temp of an exothermic reaction
so2 + o2 = so3 + energy
shift to the left
decreasing temperature of an exothermic reaction
so2 + o2 = 2so + energy
shift to the right ———–>
what will not shift an equilibrium
adding solids or liquids
catalysts
pressure will have no effect when
both sides are equal
increasing temp of an endothermic reaction
right ——–>
increasing temp of an exothermic reaction
left
decreasing temp of an endothermic reaction
left
decreasing temp of an exothermic reaction
—–> right towards the heat source
