Le Chatelier's Principle

Equilibrium shifts to counteract applied stress

Increasing reactant concentration effect

Forwards reaction favoured

Increasing product concentration effect

Reverse reaction favoured

Temperature increase favours which reaction

Endothermic reaction

Temperature decrease favours which reaction

Exothermic reaction

Pressure increase effect on gas equilibrium

Favours side with fewer gas molecules

Pressure decrease effect on gas equilibrium

Favours side with more gas molecules

Catalyst effect on equilibrium position

No effect, only speeds up rate to equilibrium

Factor that changes KcK_c value

Temperature only

Common-ion effect

Added ion in equilibrium shifts position to reduce it
