Le Châtelier’s Principle Shifts in Chemical Equilibrium
Le Châtelier’s Principle • If stress is applied to a chemical system in equilibrium, the system will shift in a direction to relieve the stress. ______________________ ______________________ ______________________
Concentration Change aA + bB cC + dD Keq = [C]c [D]d [A]a[B]b
Concentration Change 2 SO2 + O2 2 SO3 Keq = [SO3]2 [SO2]2 [O2]
System Pressure Change 2 SO2 + O2 2 SO3 Keq = [SO3]2 [SO2]2 [O2]
Temperature Change N2 + 3H2 2NH3 + 46.19 kJ Keq = [NH3]2 [N2][H2]3
Le Châtelier’s Principle Increase concentration of reactants- shift to favor products (Decrease concentration of reactants- shift to favor reactants) Increase concentration of products- shift to favor reactants (Decrease concentration of products- shift to favor products) Increase pressure of system- shift to side with fewer moles of gasses (Decrease pressure of system- shift to side with more moles of gasses) Increase Temperature- shift in endothermic direction (Decrease Temperature- shift in exothermic direction)
