Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in temperature, pressure, or concentration, the system will adjust to counteract that change. If heat is added to an exothermic reaction at equilibrium, the system will shift to favor the endothermic direction, thereby consuming some of the added heat and producing more reactants. Conversely, if the reaction is endothermic, adding heat would shift the equilibrium towards the products, favoring the formation of more products.
The concentrations of reactants and products are modified.
The system will rebalance.
more reactants will form
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
If heat is added to a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium will shift according to Le Chatelier's principle. For an exothermic reaction, adding heat will shift the equilibrium to the left, favoring the reactants, while for an endothermic reaction, it will shift to the right, favoring the products. This adjustment occurs as the system seeks to counteract the change in temperature.
Le Chatelier's principle predicts that if more products are added to a system at equilibrium, the system will shift in the direction that consumes the additional products. This shift will help offset the increase in products and restore the system back to equilibrium.
The concentrations of reactants and products are modified.
the equilibrium constant would change
the equilibrium constant would change
The equilibrium is not maintained.
The system will rebalance.
If the temperature of a system at equilibrium changed, the equilibrium position would shift to counteract the change. If the temperature increased, the equilibrium would shift in the endothermic direction to absorb the excess heat. If the temperature decreased, the equilibrium would shift in the exothermic direction to release more heat.
All concentrations would change.
All concentrations would change (apex)
more reactants will form
The system is in a state of dynamic equilibrium when melting and freezing occur at the same rate. This means that while the two processes continue to happen, there is no overall change in the amount of solid or liquid in the system.
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
