Le Chateliers Practice

Front

What is Le Chatelier's Principle?

Back

Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change.

Front

What happens to equilibrium when a reactant is added?

Back

The reaction shifts right, towards the products.

Front

What happens to equilibrium when a product is removed?

Back

The reaction shifts right, towards the products.

Front

What is the effect of increasing pressure on a gaseous equilibrium?

Back

The reaction shifts towards the side with fewer moles of gas.

Front

What is the effect of decreasing pressure on a gaseous equilibrium?

Back

The reaction shifts towards the side with more moles of gas.

Front

What happens to equilibrium when temperature is increased in an exothermic reaction?

Back

The reaction shifts left, towards the reactants.

Front

What happens to equilibrium when temperature is decreased in an exothermic reaction?

Back

The reaction shifts right, towards the products.

Front

What happens to equilibrium when temperature is increased in an endothermic reaction?

Back

The reaction shifts right, towards the products.

Front

What happens to equilibrium when temperature is decreased in an endothermic reaction?

Back

The reaction shifts left, towards the reactants.

Front

What is the effect of adding an inert gas at constant volume on equilibrium?

Back

There is no shift in the equilibrium position.
