Question
Chapter 6, Problem 18E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Reason behindinfinite equilibrium positionswhile only one specific equilibrium constant at a particular temperature should be explained.
Concept introduction: Le Chatelier established the qualitative effects of change in concentration or partial pressure of reactant on reaction equilibrium.
It suggests that if a certain change in concentration of substrates occurs then reaction proceeds so as to minimize the effects of changes. This way the direction of equilibrium can be altered by various changes and yield of the desired product can be enhanced. For example, Le Chatelier has improved the synthesis of
