Question: THEN WHAT?
Then why are irreversible not reversible?
Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction
same
). If a stress is applied to an equilibrium system, the system will "try to remove the stress to get back to the original system/conditions.
System can only make forward rxn go more or backward go more to remove stress to make new equilibrium.
Equilibrium shifts to Left - More reactant in new equilibrium compared to original equilibrium
Equilibrium shifts to Right - More products in new equilibrium compared to original equilibrium
Not affect equilibrium
