Effect of ↑ temp on exothermic reaction equilibrium

Shifts left (toward reactants), favours endothermic reverse

Effect of ↑ temp on KpK_p for exothermic reaction

Decreases KpK_p

Effect of ↑ temp on endothermic reaction equilibrium

Shifts right (toward products), favours forward reaction

Effect of ↑ temp on KpK_p for endothermic reaction

Increases KpK_p

Effect of ↑ pressure on gas equilibrium

Shifts to side with fewer gas molecules

Effect of ↓ pressure on gas equilibrium

Shifts to side with more gas molecules

Do pressure changes affect KpK_p?

No, only temperature affects KpK_p

Which factor can alter KpK_p value?

Temperature (only)

Effect of catalysts on equilibrium position

No effect on position or KpK_p value

Effect of catalysts on reaching equilibrium

Speed up rate; equilibrium reached faster
