le chatelier principale, chapter 13 Flashcards
1
Q
what is the effect of increasing a concentration
A
if a concentration is increased, the reaction shifts to consume the excess substance
2
Q
what is the effect of decreasing a concentration
A
if a concentration is decreased, the reaction shifts to produce more of that substance
3
Q
for what phase is there no change in shift when you modify the concentration
A
solid
4
Q
what is the reaction quotient
A
it is like the equilibrium constant, but for reactions that are not necessarily at equilibrium
5
Q
what happens if Q larger then K
A
reaction will go to the left
6
Q
What happens if Q smaller then K
A
will go to the right
7
Q
what happens if Q = K
A
the reaction is already at equilibrium
