arning Goal: use the equilibrium constant and Le Châtelier's nciple to determine how a reaction will respond external factors. reaction is at equilibrium when the concentrations the reactants and products no longer change er time. This does not mean the reaction is over; ther, two competing reactions continue to occur multaneously at equal rates. The two competing eactions are the forward reaction (reactants →→ roducts) and the reverse reaction (products → eactants). f a reaction at equilibrium is subjected to a stress, the concentrations of reactants and products adjust to reestablish equilibrium. This is called Le Châtelier's principle. A stress might be a change in the concentration of reactants or products, a change in the volume of the reaction container, a change in temperature, or the addition of a catalyst. The following reaction is at equilibrium in a 2.0-L vessel: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g), How do the following actions affect the equilibrium of the reaction?
