What ways can equilibrium be shifted?

Equilibrium can be shifted by changing the concentration of reactants or products, adjusting the temperature, altering the pressure (for gases), or adding a catalyst. By changing these factors, the equilibrium position can be shifted towards either the products or the reactants to favor the desired reaction.


What happens when contents of a register are shifted left to right?

When the contents of a register are shifted left, each bit moves to the next higher bit position, and a zero is typically inserted on the rightmost side. This operation effectively multiplies the value by two for each left shift. Conversely, when shifted right, each bit moves to the next lower bit position, with a zero or the sign bit (in the case of signed numbers) inserted on the left. This right shift operation effectively divides the value by two for each shift, discarding the least significant bit.
