The effect of concentration on equilibrium
Increasing the concetration of a reactant; the system opposes the change by decreasing the concentration of the reactant by removing it; the position of equilibrium moves to the right-hand side, forming more products
Increasing the concentration of a product; the system oppsose the change by decreasing the concentration of the product by removing it; the position of equilibrium will move to the left-hand side, forming more reactants.
The effect of pressure on equilibrium (gases only)
Increasing the total pressure will move the position of the equilibrium to the side with less gas molecules, as this will decrease the pressure.
Decreasing the total pressure will move the positio of the equilibrium to the side will more gas molecules, as this will increase the pressure.
