Equilibrium Practice

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 and restore a new equilibrium.

What happens to equilibrium when pressure is increased in a gaseous reaction?

Back

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

Front

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the left, favoring the reactants.

Front

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the left, favoring the reactants.

Front

What is the effect of adding a reactant to a system at equilibrium?

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the right, favoring the formation of products.

Front

What is the effect of removing a product from a system at equilibrium?

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the right, favoring the formation of more products.

Front

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the side with more moles of gas, which is the left side.

Front

What is the effect of increasing temperature on an exothermic reaction?

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the left, favoring the reactants.

Front

What is the effect of increasing temperature on an endothermic reaction?

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the right, favoring the products.

Front

Back

The equilibrium shifts to the right, favoring the formation of more CO.
