3.22C Temperature, pressure and equilibrium position

Know the effect of changing either temperature or pressure on the position of equilibrium in a reversible reaction:

• an increase (or decrease) in temperature shifts the position of equilibrium in the direction of the endothermic (or exothermic) reaction
• an increase (or decrease) in pressure shifts the position of equilibrium in the direction that produces fewer (or more) moles of gas References to Le Chatelier's principle are not required
