Chemical Equilibrium Effect

When a system is not in a state of chemical equilibrium, the reactant concentration nor the product concentration changes over time, nor do the attributes of the system. The system enters chemical equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.

Five Factors that effects equilibrium:

• Effect of Pressure Change.
• Effect of Change of Concentration.
• Effect of Inert Gas Addition.
• Effect of Temperature Change.
• Effect of a Catalyst.
