AI Thread Summary
Increasing the concentration of reactants in a chemical equilibrium, such as A + B <==> C + D, will shift the equilibrium to the right, resulting in a higher yield of products C and D while decreasing the concentration of B. Temperature changes affect equilibrium based on the nature of the reaction. For endothermic reactions, adding heat shifts the equilibrium to the right, favoring product formation, while reducing temperature shifts it to the left, decreasing yield. Conversely, in exothermic reactions, increasing temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, reducing product yield, while lowering temperature favors product formation. The specific yield changes depend on the reaction's enthalpy and the extent of temperature variation.

When your increase the concentration do you increase the yield of products?
And if you increase temperature will the system oppose this change and reduce the temperature applying le-chitaliers principle, and how much yield would you get if temperature is increased/reduced?

Given
A + B <==> C + D at equilibrium
If you increase the concentration of A, there will be a shift in equilibrium towards the right side of the equation and a decrease in concentration of B.
For the temperature it depends on whether or not the reaction is an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction. I'll let you think about this one...
Endothermic reaction:
heat + A + B <==> C + D
Exothermic reaction:
A + B <==> C + D + heat
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
