dynamic equilibrium
forward and backward reactions occur at equal rates and the amount of reactants and products remain constant
le chatelier’s principle
when a change is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium and the system reacts in such a way to oppose the effect of the change
concentration (reactants)
increase = right
decrease = left
concentration (products)
increase = left
decrease = right
pressure
increase = moves to side with fewer gas molecules
decrease = moves to side with more gas molecules
exothermic
-ΔH
endothermic
+ ΔH
temp (exo)
increase = left
decrease = right
temp (endo)
increase = right
decrease = left
