- Factors that affect Equilibrium
- Decreasing the temperature favours the forward reaction as it is exothermic and heat can be more readily lost to the environment
- Increasing the temperature favours the backward reaction as it is endothermic and heat is more readily available
- increasing the pressure favours the side with the fewest moles of gas
- Decreasing the pressure favours the side with the most moles of gas
- Increasing the concentration of reactant causes the process to shift to produce more product, thereby removing the extra reactant
- Increasing the concentration of product causes the process to shift to produce more reactant, thereby removing the extra product
- Le Chatlier's Principle: when a system in dynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change
- The position of the equilibrium will shift to minimise the change
