Altering Conditions

• Le Chatelier's Principle: When a system at equilibrium is stressed, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change
• When you increase the temperature, you lose energy when making products so endothermic reaction is favoured to gain energy to cool down
• When you increase pressure, it will squash the particles close together, therefore the side with the least amount of moles is favoured.
• When you increase concentration, it will increase the amount of particles to react with, therefore favouring the opposite side to use the excess particles.
