LeCHATELIER'S PRINCIPLE

"If a change is made to the conditions of chemical equilibrium, then the position of the equilibrium will readjust to minimize made."

1. Concentration
   - If you increase the concentration, the equilibrium will shift away from that increase in the opposite direction.
   - If you decrease concentration, equilibrium will shift toward the decrease.
   
2. Pressure
   - If you increase the pressure, equilibrium shifts to the side with the fewest moles of gas.
   - If you decrease the pressure, equilibrium shifts to the side with the most moles of gas.
   
3. Temperature
   - an increase in temperature shifts in the endothermic direction.
   - a decrease in temperature shifts in the exothermic direction.
   -note that temperature also affects the Kc values.
