Factors Effecting Equalibrium

Question 1

What is equilibrium?

Answer 1

When forward and reverse reaction occur at the same rate

Question 2

What is a reversible reaction?

Answer 2

When products can react to produce original reactants

Question 3

What is le chateliers principle?

Answer 3

If a system at equilibrium is changed, the system responds to counteract that change

Question 4

What happens when the concentration of reactants increases?

Answer 4

Equilibrium favours the forward reaction

Equilibrium shifts to the right

More products are formed

Less reactants used

Question 5

What happens when concentration of reactants decreases?

Answer 5

Equilibrium favours the reverse reaction

Equilibrium shifts to the left

This increases concentration of reactants

This decreases concentration of the products

Question 6

What happens when you increase temperature of products?

Answer 6

Equilibrium favours the endothermic reaction

EQB shifts to the left

This decreases products

Increases reactants

Question 7

What happens when you decrease temperature of reactants?

Answer 7

EQB favours the exothermic reaction

EQB shifts to the right

This increases products

Decreases reactants

Question 8

What happens when you increase pressure?

Answer 8

EQB shifts to side with fewer moles

Question 9

What happens when you decrease pressure?

Answer 9

EQB shifts to side with more moles.
