Document Summary
Explaining changes in the position of an equilibrium in terms of lech telier"s principle. University of maryland, college park from presentation approaches by anthony neidig, lebanon valley college, and j. n spencer, franklin and marshall college. To interpret changes in observable properties of a chemical reaction at equilibrium with changes in experimental conditions as evidences of change in the position of that equilibrium. To explain why those condition changes affect the equilibrium as it does as reflections of le. Understanding few chemical reactions convert 100% of reactants to products. Equilibrium while initially reactants are converted to the expected products, they often do so in a reversible reaction where the products are then free to react to reform the reactants once a critical concentration of products have formed. Eventually, a point of dynamic equilibrium is reached where reactants form products at the same rate as products are converted back to reactants; the concentration of neither reactants nor products change.
