Questions and Answers List
level questions: Equilibrium position
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What happens when we decrease the temperature at equilibrium | The position of equilibrium shifts to the exothermic side |
| What happens when the position of equilibrium shifts to the exothermic side | Increase in products of the exothermic reaction A decrease in products of endothermic reaction |
| What happens when we increase the temperature at equilibrium | The position of equilibrium shifts to the endothermic side |
| Decrease pressure on the position of equilibrium | Position of equilibrium shifts towards the side that produces the most gas molecules |
| Increase in pressure on POE | POE shifts to the side with fewest gas molecules |
| What do we do to predict the pressure change | Assess balanced equation to see how many gas molecules are on each side |
| Increase concentration of reactant on the POE | Shift the position of E towards the products |
| Increase concentration of product on POE | Shifts the position of E towards the reactants |
