Re: What is this?
The principle is used to predict how how the system will react to stress. It will change to reduce this given stress. It would be important to know how temperature, pressure/volume, increase in reactants/products, decrease in reactant/products that affect the equation. It could shift left or right d...

Re: Solids and Liquids in Le Chatelier
They would not because we only take into account the gases. We take into account their molar concentrations.

Re: Inert Gas does not change pressure?
Adding an inert gas to the container at constant volume would mean that pressure would increase but the equilibrium would not shift because it is not directly affecting the concentration of reactants and products. If it was the other case where addition of a gas changed the volume at constant pressu...

Re: Kw
Nathan Rothschild_2D wrote:Kw is the equilibrium constant for water and at 25 C is 10^(-14), but if the equation doesn't specify the temperature, can we assume that the reaction is taking place at 25 C?
I believe so, if it was at a different temperature, that temperature would have to be specified.

Re: Kw
They are the same value, just keep in mind that this value changes at different given temperatures. The one we use most often is 1.0 x10-14 at 25C.

Ice table/Ph of aqueous solutions
I Know the first test is going to cover chemical equilibrium and acids and bases. Will we have to know how to find the pH of aqueous solutions (topic 6D)?

5G1 true/false
The question asks to determine if the statement is true or false and explain why. In part c it states "If one starts with higher pressure of reactant, the equilibrium constant will be larger." I thought this was true because if there is higher pressure of reactant it will shift toward the ...
