This could be due to the specific conditions or constraints of the problem, which allow for a simpler calculation method to determine the equilibrium amounts. By carefully setting up the problem, the need for quadratic equations can be eliminated, making the solution process more straightforward.","deleted_at":null,"flashcard_deck_id":"nhIFx","original_id":null,"examMode":{"text":"","correct":"","incorrect":"","info":""}},{"id":979776,"front":"What happens to the position of equilibrium and the value of K if the temperature is increased in this exothermic reaction?","back":"The position of equilibrium shifts left and the value of K gets smaller.","front_language":"English","back_language":"English","front_image":"","back_image":"","order":1,"explanation":"When the temperature is increased in an exothermic reaction, the system tries to counteract the increase by shifting the equilibrium position to the left. This is because the reaction is releasing heat, so by shifting left, it consumes some of the excess heat. As a result, the concentration of products decreases and the concentration of reactants increases, causing the value of the equilibrium constant, K, to become smaller.","deleted_at":null,"flashcard_deck_id":"nhIFx","original_id":null,"examMode":{"text":"","correct":"","incorrect":"","info":""}},{"id":979777,"front":"Describe the effect of pressure on the position of equilibrium in this equilibrium with fewer moles of gas on the product side.","back":"The position of equilibrium shifts right.","front_language":"English","back_language":"English","front_image":"","back_image":"","order":2,"explanation":"When there are fewer moles of gas on the product side of an equilibrium, an increase in pressure will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas.
