* LeChatlier’s principle- if a system at equilibrium is subjected to stress, the equilibrium is shifted in the direction that tends to relieve its stress
* stress: increase conc.-
* increase reactant- forward, no effect on K
* increase product- reverse, no effect on K
* stress: decrease conc.-
* decrease reactant- reverse, no effect on K
* decrease product- forward, no effect on K
* stress: change in temp.
* increase temp.- reverse, K gets smaller
* decrease temp.- forward, K gets bigger
* stress: pressure-
* increase pressure- forward, no effect on K
* decrease pressure- reverse, no effect on K
