Equilibrium position

Question 1

what is equilibrium position?

Answer 1

-equilibrium position gives an idea of the comparative amounts to products

Question 2

what is La Chatelier’s Principle?

Answer 2

if a chemical system in a dynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions, the position of the equilibrium will shift in a way that will minimise (oppose/counteract) that change

Question 3

how does the addition of a catalyst effect the position of equilibrium?

Answer 3

• a catalyst does not change the position of equilibrium
  -it merely speeds up the rates of the forwards and the reverse reactions, equally increasing the rate at which dynamic equilibrium is reached

Question 4

what will increasing the temperature do to the position of equlibrium?

Answer 4

it will shift left in the endothermic direction
