9.10—Predict and justify the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position

Be able to predict and justify the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position of equilibrium in a homogeneous system.

Use —predict and justify the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —predict and justify the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —predict and justify the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Predict and justify the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
