    Changing the concentrations of reactants and products, pressure, or temperature can shift the position of a chemical equilibrium. Specifically: - Increasing a reactant shifts the equilibrium right, favoring more products. Decreasing a reactant shifts it left, favoring more reactants. - Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer total molecules. Temperature increases shift equilibria right for endothermic reactions and left for exothermic reactions. - A catalyst speeds the rate of a reaction but does not change the equilibrium position.

    Rules in changing position of equilibrium

     Changing concentration of reactant or product

    Condition Position of equilibrium


    Increase one of reactant Will shift to the right until More products will be produced
    equilibrium is reached until equilibrium is reached
    Decrease one of reactant Will shift to the left until More reactants will be
    equilibrium is reached produced until equilibrium is
    reached
    Increase one of product Will shift to the right until More reactants will be
    equilibrium is reached produced until equilibrium is
    reached
    Decrease one of product Will shift to the right until More products will be produced
    equilibrium is reached until equilibrium is reached

     Changing pressure of the reaction

    Condition Position of equilibrium


    Increase the pressure of Will shift to the side of reaction with fewer number of molecules
    reaction
    Increase the pressure of Will shift to the side of reaction with more number of molecules
    reaction

     Changing temperature

    Condition Change in Position of equilibrium


    temperature
    Increase in Will shift to the right until More products will be
    temperature equilibrium is reached produced until equilibrium is
    Endothermic reached
    Decrease in Will shift to the left until More reactants will be
    temperature equilibrium is reached produced until equilibrium is
    reached
    Increase in Will shift to the left until More reactants will be
    temperature equilibrium is reached produced until equilibrium is
    Exothermic reached
    Decrease in Will shift to the right until More products will be
    temperature equilibrium is reached produced until equilibrium is
    reached

     Catalyst

    Catalyst will make the reaction faster but will not change or no effect the position of equilibrium.
