Chapter 14, Problem 14.10QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The comparison of change in temperature when it influences the $K_{\text{eq}}$ and $Q$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The condition of equilibrium is a state of balance of processes that runs in opposite directions. At equilibrium, the formation of a product from the reactant balances the formation of reactant from the product. Also, the change in concentration of reaction and product seems to be negligible at equilibrium state.

Le Chatelier’s principle states that if system is in an equilibrium state and it gets disturbed from the change of temperature or concentration of reactant and products then system response is to minimize that change. If reaction in equilibrium is disturbed then the chemical reaction moves in the direction that reduces that disturbance.
