Factors Affecting Equilibrium: Temperature and Catalysts
Examining the influence of temperature and catalysts on the position and rate of equilibrium.
Key Questions
- Differentiate the effect of temperature and catalysts on the equilibrium position and reaction rate.
- Predict how an increase in temperature will affect the yield of an exothermic reaction.
- Justify why catalysts do not change the value of the equilibrium constant.
