If an equilibrium shifts to the right, which reaction speeds up, the forward or. Le chateliers principle states that if a system is at equilibrium and the temperature, pressure or concentrations of the species are changed, the reaction will proceed in such a direction as to oppose this change. Describe le chatelier s principle and predict changes in a chemical equilibrium system due to changes in a concentration. Stress refers to changes in concentration, pressure, volume, and temperature. Using previous information relating to le chateliers principle, predictions and observations were made on how the stress would have an affect on the direction within which the system would shift to reestablish equilibrium. In other words, it can be used to predict the direction of a chemical reaction in response to a change in conditions of temperature, concentration, volume, or pressure. This also means that once equilibrium is reached, there is less of the stuff on the other side of the equation. Central to this model are the reaction quotient and a reequilibration term that represents the extent of neutralization during a titration. Hsia girgis 1 questionintro the purpose of this lab assignment was to examine how stresses applied to different systems at equilibrium affected the direction in in which the system shifted to establish equilibrium once again.
