What effect does the removal of heat have on the equilibrium position?

The temperature of a reaction will entirely change th equilibrium position for any given reaction. If I'm right, as you increase the temperature, the equilibrium shifts closer to the endothermic reaction as there is more heat to consume. It may also, of course, change other properties of the substances involved in the reaction, but that depends on the chemicals.

∙ 7y agoThe effect of heat on the equilibrium position depends on whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. If endothermic, then removal of heat will push the reaction toward the reactant side, and if exothermic, removal of heat will push it toward the product side.

What is main reason for assuming the HELP position when you are stranded in the water?
In cold waters, assume the HELP position (Heat Escape Lessening Position). This is where you roll up into a ball with your chest against your thighs, while gripping your ankles. This will allow your body to retain heat longer, and could save your life if it gives more time for a ship to come by.
What effect does heat fixing have on bacterial cell size?
it makes cell size shrink
Should you put ice or heat for sciatica pain?
It really depends on which type of injury occurred so that you can determine whether to use heat or ice. If the position is no pain-free, use ice. If the position is pain free with movement, use heat.
How can heat affect enzyme?
Heat would make most enzymes unnecessary as added heat would allow (many) reaction to achieve activation energy without the need of a helping enzyme. In a biological system most enzymes are proteins and as heat denatures proteins the effect would be to destroy their functionality.
What organ system is responsible for the removal of excess heat energy from the body?
The body has a number of strategies for removing excess heat energy from your body. The skin uses sweat glands to excrete sweat, which evaporates and cools a person's body temperature. The blood vessels expand to release heat, which is why we become "red" when we are hot.
What is the effect of adding more water to the following equilibrium reaction?
Equilibrium is pushed to the reactant side
How is the equilibrium position of cs h½og heat î h½g co affected by lowering the temperature?
shifts toward the products
How is the equilibrium position of C(s) plus H2o(g) plus heat ---- and gt?
The chemical reaction is:2 Cs + 2 H2O = 2 CsOH + H2
What happens when you add pressure to an equilibrium?
Other aspects of the system (such as heat) will change to maintain equilibrium
Assuming that the reaction is at equilibrium what effect does the addition of a catalyst have on the equilibruim?
a catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reaction. however, it does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products. it also does not affect the heat of reaction (delta h)
Will heat stop moving?
When thermal equilibrium is reached.
How will heat stop moving?
When thermal equilibrium is reached.
How does increasing temperature effect endothermic reaction?
You can use LeChatelier's Principle to solve this problem. For an endothermic reaction A+heat<-->B Thus, by increasing the heat, you are shifting the equilibrium towards the reactants. The reaction will adjust itself by shifting the equilibrium to the right (producing more of the product).
What do heat flows from?
heat flows everything, from a warmer substance to a cooler substance to maintain equilibrium.
What term is used to describe when heat gain is equal to heat loss?
The term is "thermodynamic equilibrium."
How do you know when the transfer of heat has ended?
When the system is in thermal equilibrium.
What are thermoelectric coolers used for?
Thermoelectric coolers use the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between two materials. This is generally used for appliances that require heat removal from miliwatts to several thousands of watts.
