📌 Key Facts: Equilibrium
- Dynamic equilibrium: Forward rate = backward rate in a closed system
- Le Chatelier's Principle: System shifts to oppose any change
- Temperature ↑: Shifts in endothermic direction (absorbs heat)
- Concentration ↑: Shifts away from the increased substance
- Pressure ↑: Shifts to side with fewer gas molecules
- Catalysts: Speed up both directions equally, no position change
- Concentrations constant but not necessarily equal at equilibrium
