What does Le Chatelier's principle state about a system at equilibrium?

Equilibrium shifts to oppose the change

For 2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g), what happens if pressure is increased?

Equilibrium shifts right

When pressure decreases in a gaseous equilibrium, which way does the equilibrium shift?

Toward side with more gas molecules

For an exothermic forward reaction, what happens when temperature is increased?

Shifts to reverse (endothermic) direction

For 2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g), ΔH=−197 kJ/mol\Delta H = -197\, kJ/mol, what happens when temperature decreases?

Shifts right, more SO3SO_3

What happens when the concentration of reactants is increased in an equilibrium system?

Equilibrium shifts right

How does a catalyst affect the position of equilibrium?

It does not affect the position

In ethanol production from ethene, what catalyst is used?

Phosphoric acid

What compromise temperature is used in ethanol production to balance yield and rate?

300°C300°C

For [Cu(H2O)6]2+(aq)+4Cl−(aq)⇌[CuCl4]2−(aq)+6H2O(l)[Cu(H_2O)_6]^{2+}(aq) + 4Cl^-(aq) \rightleftharpoons [CuCl_4]^{2-}(aq) + 6H_2O(l), what colour change occurs when conc. HCl is added?

Blue to green
