If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the equilibrium moves in the direction that tends to reduce the disturbance. so only use to predict the quantity
Equilibrium position
Is the proportion of reactants and products which are present at dynamicequilibrium. this can be changed by changing the conditions of the reactions.
Products increased
if the proportion of the products is increased the EP is shifted to the right
Reactants increased
If the proportion of the reactants increased the equilibrium position is shifted to the left.
catalyst- condition
Adding a catalyst DOES NOT affect the equilibrium position, it increases the rates if both directions equally.
Concentration- condition - increase
Equilibrium will shift to the opposite side of the substance
Concentration- condition- decrease
Equilibrium will shift to the direction of substance deceased
Pressure- condition- increase
Systems try to oppose the change so equilibrium position will shift to the side with more moles of gas
Pressure- condition- decrease
System try to oppose this change so equilibrium position will shift to the side with moles of gas
Temperature- condition- increase
If temp increase, the system oppose this change by takingin energy to reduce the temperature. the equilibrium will shift in endothermic
Temperature- condition- decrease
The system oppose This change by giving out energy to increase the temp, the equilibrium shift to the exothermic
