Flashcards on Chemical Equilibrium: Le Chatelier's Principle

Click on the flashcard to see the answer


What is Chemical Equilibrium?

The state in which the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.

What is Le Chatelier's Principle?

When a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it adjusts to minimize the disturbance.

What are the factors that can affect chemical equilibrium?

Concentration, pressure, temperature, and catalysts.

How does concentration affect chemical equilibrium?

Increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium towards the products, and vice versa.

How does pressure affect chemical equilibrium?

Increasing the pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas.

How does temperature affect chemical equilibrium?

Increasing the temperature favors the endothermic reaction.

What is the role of catalysts in chemical equilibrium?

Catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium, but they increase the rate at which equilibrium is achieved.

What happens if a stress is applied to a system at chemical equilibrium?

The system responds by shifting the equilibrium to relieve the stress.

Which reaction direction is favored if the concentration of reactants is increased?

The reaction shifts towards the products.

Which reaction direction is favored if the pressure is increased?

The reaction shifts towards the side with fewer moles of gas.

How does an increase in temperature affect an endothermic reaction at equilibrium?

The reaction is favored towards the products.
