Equilibria

?
  • An equilibrium can only be established in a closed system.
  • Feautures of a dynamic equilibrium: The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, The concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
  • Le Chatelier's principle: If a system is subjected to a change, the position of equilibrium will move in the direction which opposes that change. 
  • CONCENTRATION- The equilibrium will shift to the RIGHT if the conc of a reactant is increased or the conc of a product is decreased.
  • equilibrium will shift to the LEFT if the conc of a reactant is decreased or the conc of a product is increased. 
  • PRESSURE- If the total pressure is increased, the equilibrium shifts to the side with fewer moles of gas, because fewer moles of gas exert less pressure.
  •  If the total pressure is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to the side with more moles of gas, because more moles of gas
