Also, how does temperature affect Le Chatelier's principle?
Changes in TemperatureFor instance, if we raise the temperature on an endothermic reaction, it is essentially like adding more reactant to the system, and therefore, by Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift the right. For an exothermic reaction, heat is a product.
Also, what happens to the equilibrium position of an exothermic reaction when you remove heat? Because ΔH is positive, the reaction is endothermic in the forward direction. Removing heat from the system forces the equilibrium to shift towards the exothermic reaction, so the reverse reaction will occur and more reactants will be produced.
Keeping this in consideration, how does temperature affect concentration?
Temperature: When you raise the temperature of a system, the molecules bounce around a lot more. They have more energy. Concentration: If there is more of a substance in a system, there is a greater chance that molecules will collide and speed up the rate of the reaction.
How does activation energy affect the position of equilibrium?
Examine how activation energy and heat of reaction affect the position of equilibrium. As temperature increases, molecules gain energy and move faster and faster resulting in higher probability that molecules will be moving with the necessary activation energy for a reaction to occur upon collision.
