Equilibrium

• Equilibrium is a state in a closed system were the amounts of reactants and products reach a balance, the forward reaction will be going at exactly the same rate as the backward reaction
• Le Chatelier's principle is if you change the conditions of a reversible reaction at equilibrium, the system will try to counteract the change
• Increase temperature, yield of endothermic reaction will increase, yield of exothermic will decrease
• Increase pressure favours the reaction which produces less volume of gases
• Increase concentration of a reactant, system will make more products to decrease it
