Q. Show the Factors Affecting Equilibrium Position?

Ans.

The term equilibrium position refers to the relative proportions of reactants and products in the equilibrium mixture. A shift of the equilibrium position to the right means an increase in the proportion of the products. A shift of the equilibrium position to the left means an increase in the production of the reactants.

These are the conditions which are commonly changed:

  • Concentrations of reactants or products
  • Temperature
  • Pressure (This is only important in reactions involving gases.)

The effect of changes in concentration, temperature, and pressure on an equilibrium position may be predicted by Le Chtelier's Principle.

Note: A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium position.
