Chemical Equilibrium
« on: January 05, 2008, 06:10:12 AM »
At equilibrium state, when there is the disturbance of concentration of the reactant, decrease [ reactant ], there's net direction toward formation of the reactant.

I want to know if the concentration of the product decreases or not at the same time. THANK YOU!

This will be described by the mass conservation and reaction stoichiometry.

So, the concentration of the product decreases too, right?

More,  2H2S (g) + O2 (g) <-- --> 2S (s) + 2H2O (g)
if O2 is added, [H2O] increases, how can I explain this?

Try to look at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier%27s_principle

There you'll find the influence of the concentration and an explanation
