Document Summary

Chem 1040 lecture 17 equilibrium shifts and acid/base equilibria. If removed, the system shifts to the left to create more reactant. If added, the system shifts to the right to produce more product. If increased, the system shifts to the side with more moles. If decreased, the system shifts to the side with less moles. If added, the system shifts to the left to get more reactant. If removed, the system shifts to the right to get more product. Temperature: temperature should be treated as heat, which is a part of the chemical equation. For endothermic reactions, heat is treated as a reactant. For exothermic reactions, heat is treated as a product. If increased, the system shifts to the side with less moles. If decreased, the system shifts to the side with more moles. Predicting the direction of an equilibrium: qc is the reaction quotient at any time during a reaction.
