The position of the equilibrium altered

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around how the position of equilibrium in a chemical reaction can be altered by changing temperature, pressure, concentration, and the presence of a catalyst. Participants explore the implications of temperature changes on the equilibrium position of the reaction between hydrogen and iodine to form hydrogen iodide.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant states that the position of equilibrium can be altered by changing temperature, pressure, concentration, and catalyst.
  • The same participant inquires specifically about how increasing or decreasing temperature would affect the equilibrium position, asking whether there would be more reactants or products as a result.
  • Another participant emphasizes the need for information about the enthalpy change of the reaction to fully address the question.
  • A hint is provided regarding Le Chatelier's Principle, which may be relevant to understanding the effects of temperature changes on equilibrium.
  • The original poster mentions they have done the work and are awaiting a reply from their teacher, indicating they are seeking additional clarification.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specific effects of temperature changes on the equilibrium position, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the application of Le Chatelier's Principle in this context.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific details about the enthalpy change for the reaction, which is necessary for a complete understanding of the equilibrium shift due to temperature changes.

the position of the equilibrium can be altered by changing the temperature,Pressure, Concentration and Catalyst.

which way will the equilibrium move if we Increase and Decrease the temperture?
would there be more reactant or more product if we change the temperture?

i would like to learn more about this, using the reaction
H2 (g) + I2 (g)[tex]\Leftrightarrow[/tex]2HI (g)
Hydrogen + Iodinn [tex]\Leftrightarrow[/tex]Hydrogen iodide

i am in high school. so it will be helpfull if anyone would break down the answer for me

topboim,

We can not write down answers to homework/textbook problems. In fact, we can only help you after you first show what effort you have put into attempting the problem.

What I can tell you is that for the question to be complete, you also need to include information about the enthalpy change for the reaction.

Please read the Forum Guidelines - click the Rules tab at the top of the page.

Hint: have you heard of Le Chatelier's Principle?
 
yes, i have. i have done the work and waiting for a reply from my teacher

thanks anyways
