Le Châtelier's Principle

An exothermic reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium. If heat energy is then removed, the equilibrium will shift

• toward the middle
• toward the reactant side
• toward the product side

If I add a chemical to a system at equilibrium, increasing its concentration,

• the reaction will shift to the same side of the equation where it appears to make more of it

• the reaction will shift to the opposite side of the equation where it appears to use some of it up

• the reaction will not shift

• byproducts (other unwanted chemicals) will be formed to use the excess
