Le Chatelier's

Question 1

Concentration Increase

Answer 1

Decreasing the concentration of the products stresses the reaction system. According to Le Chatelier’s the system will react to counteract this change. In this instance, the forward reaction is favoured, thus increasing the concentration of …. produced. (Increased yield).

Question 2

Increased Temperature

Answer 2

Increasing the temperature of the products stresses the reaction system. According to Le Chatelier, the equilibrium shifts in the endothermic direction to counteract this change. In this case, the back reaction is favoured increasing ht yield of…

Question 3

Increased Pressure

Answer 3

Increasing the pressure decreases the volume, hence increasing the concentration. According to Le Chatelier when a reaction system is stressed, the system will move to counteract the change.
