Le Chatelier's Principle!

So when we starting learning about Le Chateliers Principle, there were 3 main factors that affected the equilibrium state of the reaction; can you guess what they are?


... Temperature, Pressure & Volume and Concentration!

Let's start with temperature!

increasing the temperature will favor a reverse reaction, causing the reaction to be
endothermic!

decreasing the temperature will favor a forward reaction, causing the reaction to be
exothermic!

E A S Y!

Now moving on to Pressure & Volume!

If increasing the pressure and decreasing the volume, the reaction will favor the side with the less moles (or less volume)

If decreasing the pressure and increasing the volume, the reaction will favor the side with the a greater amount of moles (or greater volume)

nothing too hard :)

Last one, concentration!

If you remove a reactant from the equation, it will favor the reactant side. (left)

If you add a reactant to the equation, it will favor the product side. (right)

If you add more product to the equation, it will favor the reactants side. (left)

If you remove a product from the equation, it will favor the product side. (right)


Now you know all what these is to know about these 3 factors :)
