If you increase the amount of a substance, the equilibrium shifts away, if you decrease or get rid of something the equilibrium shifts to it, and if the substance that is changed is on both sides then the equilibrium doesn't shift.

What happens to the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a market if the demand curve shifts to the right?

If the demand shift to the right, the equilibrium price and quantity will shift from the initial equilibrium price and quantity to the next, i mean the equilibrium price and quantity will increase as compare to the first.


Why does the supply curve increase or decrease?

The supply and demand curve follows four basic laws :If demand increases (demand curve shifts to the right) and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.If demand decreases (demand curve shifts to the left) and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.If demand remains unchanged and supply increases (supply curve shifts to the right), a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases (supply curve shifts to the left), a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.


If the demand for a product remains the same and the supply increase what will happen to the equilibrium price?

If there is an increase in supply, the supply curve will be shifted to the right. This leads to a decrease in the equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity. This is easy to see if you draw it out.

When equilibrium shifts to the reactants in response to stress how is the equilibrium position changed?

When the concentration increases, the equilibrium shifts away from the substance. Equilibrium is based on the molarity of the reactants. Increasing concentration increases the amount of that reactant in the solution.

What does Le Châtelier's principle say about upsetting a system at equilibrium?

When a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the "position" of the equilibrium shifts in a direction that reduces the effects of that change. For example, if a reactant or product is added, the system shifts AWAY FROM that added component to use the excess up. If heat is added, the system shifts AWAY FROM that added energy energy to use the excess up. If the pressure on a system is increased, the system shifts toward the side with fewer gas molecules.


When the heat shifts the direction of the reaction there has been a change in concentration and equilibrium will then be affected?
