If a system in equilibrium is stressed it shifts in the opposite direction to reach a new equilibrium.

1.1 Increasing the temperature shifts in the direction that decreases energy:
A + B ⇌ C + Energy
stress- increase Temp reaction- shifts left
1.1 Increasing the temperature shifts in the direction that decreases energy:
A + B + Energy ⇌ C
stress- increase Temp reaction- shifts right
1.2 Decreasing the temperature shifts in the direction that increases energy.
A + B + Energy ⇌ C
stress- decrease Temp reaction- shifts left
2.1 Adding a reactant or product shifts the reaction in the direction that removes them.
A + B ⇌ C + Energy
reaction- shifts rightstress- increase [A]
2.2 Adding a reactant or product shifts in the direction that removes them.
A + B ⇌ C + Energy
stress- increase [C] reaction- shifts left
2.3 Removing a reactant or product shifts in the opposite direction.
A + B ⇌ C + Energy
stress- decrease [A] reaction- shifts left
2.4 Removing a reactant or product shifts in the opposite direction.
A + B ⇌ C + Energy
stress- decrease [C] reaction- shifts right
3.1 Only changes to (aq) and (g) reactants or products cause the equilibrium to shift
(s) and (l) have constant concentrations
You can change the concentrations of (aq) and (g)
CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-
(aq) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + Cl2 (g)
+ CO2(g) + H2O(l)
(s) and (l) do not!

4.1 Adding a catalyst does not shift the equilibrium
Equilibrium is attained faster
Forward and reverse rates are increased by the same amount
products
5.1 Adding an inert (non-reactive) gas does not shift the equilibrium.
Adding Ne(g)
2NH3(g) ⇌ N2(g) + 3H2(g)
No shift!
The Forward and Reverse Rates and Shifting Explain in terms of the immediate changes to the forward and reverse rates after each stress why each shift occurs
2CO(g) + O2(g) ⇄ 2CO2(g) + energy

1. Some CO is added- more reactant collisions.
The Forward and Reverse Rates and Shifting Explain in terms of the immediate changes to the forward and reverse rates after each stress why each shift occurs
2CO(g) + O2(g) ⇄ 2CO2(g) + energy
2. CO is removed. ShiftForwardReverse
