The relative position of the equilibrium, i.e., the proportions among the reactants and products, shifts toward removing at least some of any added material and recreating at least some of any removed material.

What will be the consequences of adding or removing a reactant or aproduct from a reaction that is at dynamic equilibrium?

if reaction is at equ. then adding product will cause reaction to proceed forward and product will increase and removing product will do the same while removing reactant will cause reactn 2 proced bakward and reactant will increase and adding product wl do the same it is in accordnc wth LeChateliars principle


What is a control in chemistry?

A controlled chemistry is authoritarian rule over science departments a controlled chemical reaction is when a chemical reaction can be ceased easily by either removing a reactant or changing conditions such as temperature or PH.


Can you speed up a reaction?

Heat up (temperature change) or adding a catalyst or enzyme (in biological reactions). Further more: mixing and grinding for solid state reactions, higher concentrations (in 'non-zero' order reactions) and higher pressure in gas reaction. At last: more reactant and removing product might help in some cases.


How does a change in the amount of a product cause shift in equilibrium?

Most chemical reactions naturally settle to a certain equillibrium, the point where the forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction rate such that no further evidence of reaction can be observed macroscopically. The equilibrium can be shifted far to the products side (or right), meaning that a majority of the molecules in an environment are the desired product. A good example is the combustion of methane, the equilibrium for the combustion is extremely far to the right and thus most of the methane molecules undergoe reaction. However, many chemical equilibriums are not so extreme to either side and thus a good amount of both product and reactant will be present. By removing some of the product by a technique such as distillation, the chemical environment will no longer be in equilibrium anymore. Because of this the reaction will begin to proceed again forming enough product to reestablish the favorable equilibrium. In this manner reactions can be forced to the product side and product yields that were may have been considerably lower can be significantly improved.


Does removing a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?

No in the vast majority of cases it reduces the rate of reaction.


Why is there low yield in an elimination reaction?

Many times your are removing heavy atoms during an elimination reaction.


How will decreasing the reactant concentration affect the reaction?

It depends on the order of the reaction. If it is zero order, decreasing the reactant concentration will have NO effect on the rate. If it is 1st or 2nd order (or more), then decreasing the concentration will DECREASE the reaction rate.


What is reversible lesion?

It is a chemical deactivation of certain brain structure to simulate the effects of removing the structure. This can be done in advance of brain surgeries to predict the effects of the surgery.


What happens when reactant is added to a system at equilibrium?

The equilibrium of the system will be upset.


If one product a chemical reaction is removed the reaction?

Removing product generally shifts the equilibrium to the right. Not always, though; it depends on the details.


Is it true that during chemical changes atoms are rearranged and different kind of matter form?

Yes, in chemical reactions the fundamental structure of the molecules (i.e., the arrangement of the atoms) changes. This differs from a physical reaction, in that in a physical reaction, only superficial traits of the substance change. A good rule of thumb for determining whether something is a physical or chemical reaction is that physical reactions are easily reversible (e.g., freezing/melting water), while a chemical reaction is not really reversible (e.g., cooking/uncooking a steak).
