Use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the effect of temperature changes.

In the subtopic Equilibrium and Le Chatelier's principle, this AQA A-Level Chemistry 7405 learning objective focuses on use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the effect of temperature changes. It belongs to Chemical equilibria, Le Chatelier's principle and Kc, so revision should stay anchored to this exact subtopic rather than drifting into a generic GCSE-level chemistry summary. Approved keywords to use include Le Chatelier, temperature. Le Chatelier's principle. means a principle stating that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change Avoid the mistake of students often believe that increasing temperature always shifts the equilibrium to the right, regardless of the reaction type; instead, understand that increasing temperature shifts the equilibrium position in the direction that absorbs heat (endothermic direction) for a given reaction. For exothermic reactions, increasing temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, reducing product yield For exam answers, when predicting the effect of temperature changes on equilibrium, remember that increasing temperature shifts the equilibrium position to favor the endothermic reaction
