It depends on the question. So if the REACTANTS turning into PRODUCT is an endothermic reaction then adding heat will shift it towards the right(because the reactants require heat to react) BUT if the PRODUCT turning back into the REACTANT is endothermic that means adding heat will shift it to the left (because the products require heat to form back into the original reactants)
This is by far the greatest explanation of this principle. Instead of just saying it moves to the left or right, you explained the conceptual reasoning behind it...for me, it makes it a hell of a world of difference. Thanks again, and keep it up!
Never would I have thought that something that caused me so much pain and turmoil could make complete sense after 8min from a random stranger on the internet..... God speed my friend.....
Just taking a moment to appreciate you and your work. You have literally answered all my questions and relieved all my doubts from the beginning of high school to the end of my university path. I could never thank you enough.
This video is by far the best and more clear explanation. After watching several videos and becoming even more confused; I now fully understand the concept of equilibrium and what side it favours depending on the change. Thank you
This is so helpful! I've been studying for 2 weeks for my chemistry final and a problem like this appeared in the final packet. You explain chemistry very simple that is easy to follow, thanks!
English isn't even my mother tongue, but this helped me a lot more than any other video I saw! Your way to explain things is awesome, thank you very much :)
This video is by far the most amazing one I've seen on Le Chatelier's principle. Thank you so much for all the great reasonings and explanations. I was having some issues with the change in temperature part but you made it all very clear to me. Thank you so much sir, you're a great teacher!
if only my teacher could teach as well as you could, my whole class would have covered the whole curriculum in two weeks - with room to spare! But no .. teachers these days are so lazy and only know to read from the textbook.
this helped a lot, i have been having A LOT of struggle with my chemistry class this year and this is gonna help me for my test coming up, thank you :)
Thank you for this helpful explanation! I've watched so many other videos, read my textbook on this concept and I didn't fully understand it until now.
Dear Sir, this is my first time to write a comment on any UA-cam video. First of all, I would say I like your method of teaching, knowledgeable, clear and to the point. Secondly, I would like to correct your understanding of adding inert into the system. When we add inerts into reactor at constant system pressure, the partial pressure of reacting species decreases and as a result we get few moles of ammonia on the product side. For reference, I would suggest reading Sandler, S. (2006). Chemical, biochemical, and engineering thermodynamics, chapter 13, pp 720-722. Further, I have also simulated the case study of production of ammonia by adding inert material into the system using a process simulator. My results are in agreement with the book i.e. decrease in formation of ammonia by adding an inert material or dilutent at constant system pressure. Thanks.
What about endothermic? Would that simply be the opposite of adding heat? If I added heat and it shifted one way, if I cooled it, would it shift the other, or stay the same??
Question: Does exothermic and endothermic enthalpy values affect an equilibrium if say the system present in the video were endothermic and not exothermic, would it affect the equilibrium to reverse the shifts or will it remain the same?
What effect will each of these factors have on a particular reactent or product? for example, whats the effect on N2 when you decrease temperature, add more N2, or increase volume? Also when you say shift, can that mean product or reactent being added or subtracted?
I thought it shifts to which has less mole I mean that is what I learned When you remove N2 the 3H2 is left by it own and that leaves us turning back or left .Am I right?
more product was produced during equilibrium of the reaction so it needs to shift to reactants to offset the production of products. i know this is a old question but just incase someone else was wondering.
If the process is endothermic and you add heat, would it still shift to the left?
No ... to the right.
Endothermic = Heat is required = Heat is a reactant
Adding a reactant = Shift Right.
oh so for exothermic we add heat to the product's side
and for endothermic we add heat to the reactant's side...
Isn't the breakdown of ammonia endothermic and so by increasing the heat the concentration of reactants would increase,shifting the point to the left?
chemistNATE help I still dont understand
It depends on the question. So if the REACTANTS turning into PRODUCT is an endothermic reaction then adding heat will shift it towards the right(because the reactants require heat to react) BUT if the PRODUCT turning back into the REACTANT is endothermic that means adding heat will shift it to the left (because the products require heat to form back into the original reactants)
Loved the way you said at last "And Best of Luck in your own Le Chatelielic Adventure"
This is by far the greatest explanation of this principle. Instead of just saying it moves to the left or right, you explained the conceptual reasoning behind it...for me, it makes it a hell of a world of difference. Thanks again, and keep it up!

Facts
My chemistry teacher isn't the best at teaching and his 3 days of teaching made no sense but this 8 minute video makes SOO MUCH SENSE !!
Exo-ls everywhere yeet
Please keep making these videos! Not many chemistry tutorials are clear and easy to follow like your videos. Thank you so much.
Just taking a moment to appreciate you and your work. You have literally answered all my questions and relieved all my doubts from the beginning of high school to the end of my university path. I could never thank you enough.
Treating heat like a product holy hell thank you good sir!
Fucking genius isn't he! I was going to rote learn all the conditions.. thank goodness for him!
9yrs and still helping, hope you are well. Subscribed to thank you.
The way you added heat like one of the products made the whole thing make sense!! Thank you so much
This video is by far the best and more clear explanation. After watching several videos and becoming even more confused; I now fully understand the concept of equilibrium and what side it favours depending on the change. Thank you

English isn't even my mother tongue, but this helped me a lot more than any other video I saw! Your way to explain things is awesome, thank you very much :)
Thank you so much for your help, I was struggling with this until I found your teaching. God bless your soul.
This video is by far the most amazing one I've seen on Le Chatelier's principle. Thank you so much for all the great reasonings and explanations. I was having some issues with the change in temperature part but you made it all very clear to me. Thank you so much sir, you're a great teacher!
Probably the most concise video concerning this subject - helped me out a lot thank you!
chemistNATE, you are the best!!! Keep doing what you are doing! Also your other vids rock as well. (this is coming from a quantitive analysis student)
I literally spent 2 hours trying to understand this and you saved me. Thank you.
Wow
Even 9 years later someone is still benefits from this
Thanks much much.
I love how you make complicated topics so easy!! Thank you. :)
you sir, are my Le Chatelier principle hero!!
3:00-3:05 I think it will shift to the left? You said, "right" but thank you for uploading this, it helped a lot! :)
that's what he said 😉 everybody makes mistakes
if only my teacher could teach as well as you could, my whole class would have covered the whole curriculum in two weeks - with room to spare! But no .. teachers these days are so lazy and only know to read from the textbook.
+AwakenedMachinist yeah and they keep saying it's easy why won't anyone understand?? this guy helped me understand it in like 8:30 minutes.
you have a sucky professor, luckily there are lots of good professors out there too.
I am facing the same problem, if my teacher taught that well I would be acing all my tests
Atleast your teacher uses the textbook
True...Relatable
Thanks a lot for this. I fell asleep during chemistry so I didn't get any of it until I watched this video.
This video from 2013 helped me much more than my actual professor ! Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for this. I was getting so confused with the concept but finally now I have understood.
He literally just saved me so much time and I really understand it now thank God.
So good -- thank you! I just that *click* when you understand everything and it perfectly fits together! Merci!
this helped a lot, i have been having A LOT of struggle with my chemistry class this year and this is gonna help me for my test coming up, thank you :)
The best lecture and the best staff with very good teaching skills
Never learnt such a good chem. class
Appreciated
God bless your soul
Lol I just noticed your comment on both this video and the Crash Course one. I also used both so I don't fail Chemistry...
Hannah Smith yass we in this together
FFuzzyandfurryF I'm 15 I just haven't changed my profile pic since I was 12 lol
Wow
Thank you for this helpful explanation! I've watched so many other videos, read my textbook on this concept and I didn't fully understand it until now.
You just helped me ace the test. Thank you so much!
Thank you soooooooo much! This has cleared up about a week worth of work...!!!!!!!!
You managed to explain the equilibrium with temperature so well. Thank you!!
Best video ever seen so far!Real lifesaver for visual learners!
Perfectly understood. You must be a very experienced teacher.
Best Chem tutor on UA-cam no doubt. I'm sure I'll get into Pharmacy School now! ^__^
I am very grateful for your exquisite and easy-to-understand lecture! Thank you!
you explained this so much better than my teacher. this was my least favourite topic until i came across this video. Thankyou so much!!
You just saved my life! I have a chemistry test tomorrow & this thought me sooooo much!
Thank you so much! This helps A TON!! You are an absolutely amazing teacher!!
You are hands down the best chemistry teacher ever!!!!! I would love chemistry if you were my teacher.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! you did what my teacher couldnt do in 8 days, in 8 minutes!
Best video out here explaining this concept! Thank you!
This is exactly the video I'm looking for! thank you so much.
Best chemistry teacher EVER. Perfect explanations man!!
Just have to say, thank you so much! It truly helped me understand the whole concept.
This really helped me understand. Just subscribed, please keep making videos!
learned more from this 8 minute video than listening to my teacher for hours on this....
Fantastic Video man this saved me a lot of confusion going into my biggest General Chemistry Exam!
Hi, I was wondering if you can explain why when you remove N2 you said the equilibrium shifts right but you drew a left arrow? Thanks!
Can't believe it was that simple. Thank you so much for this!
Well explained! Thank you for saving me hours of researching and studying
Old, but until by now in 2020, this aewsome video is helping me a lot! thanks guy !

That was so smooth..understood everything!!!thanks✌🏻
Best illustrations i have ever encountered..it was helpful
Your explanation is simple and clear! Thank you again Chemist Nate! :D
What about endothermic? Would that simply be the opposite of adding heat? If I added heat and it shifted one way, if I cooled it, would it shift the other, or stay the same??
Thank you my good man you helped me in Le Chatelier's Principle
Chemist Nate you are amazing. You made this so simple while the text book made this so confusing
You’re such a good teacher! Thank you for your help :)
Question: Does exothermic and endothermic enthalpy values affect an equilibrium if say the system present in the video were endothermic and not exothermic, would it affect the equilibrium to reverse the shifts or will it remain the same?
Thank you so much for this video. This video helped me understand Le Chatelier's Principle.
You sir just earned yourself a new subscriber👏🙏 and you sir are going to be the only reason I will pass chemistry
Short and concise , exactly how I like it , Thanks :)
What happens when ammonia is removed from the reaction mixture? So what effect does this have on the position of equilibrium
What if the reaction were endothermic, would increasing and decreasing temperature still have the corresponding shifts?
I’m crying bro. Thank you so much.One morning miracle.
Thank you!!! Doing my assignment at uni and this saved me 🙏
You cleared all my doubts regarding Le Chatelier's principle
wow that was a very fast 8 min lesson, I learnt a lot thanks to you
Sir, I just love ur way of teaching
What effect will each of these factors have on a particular reactent or product? for example, whats the effect on N2 when you decrease temperature, add more N2, or increase volume? Also when you say shift, can that mean product or reactent being added or subtracted?
I thought it shifts to which has less mole
I mean that is what I learned
When you remove N2 the 3H2 is left by it own and that leaves us turning back or left .Am I right?
Thank you Nate, within two minutes of the video you helped me figure it out. :)
This video actually helped quite a bit. Thank you!
sir, what if it says: O2 gas is added to absorb N2? or HCl is added to neutralize NH3, what will happen to the shift? is it still NO EFFECT?
You saved my life! Thank you so so so much!
You solved my problem by treating heat as a product! Amazing!
thank you for making this video ! i am really grateful that i found this!
Great video! Clear and to the point. Thanks!
but what happens to the concentration of ammonia if the pressure inc and if the temperature increases?
i cant understand this please .
Thank you, this helped so much. My teacher rushed through this topic. This helped a lot
Thank you so much! i somehow confused these on my test but glad to know its so simple
Thank you so much, its all clear to me now.. Watching this 2022
Im studying for my chem final and i wasnt here for this unit so this is def helpin
3:05, you mean shifting to the left. :)
more product was produced during equilibrium of the reaction so it needs to shift to reactants to offset the production of products. i know this is a old question but just incase someone else was wondering.
he meant that you wrote the arrow to the left but you accidentally said right
my god that was so confuseee
man I was so confused >>> LOL
I learned a lot from you Sir, than my professor, tbh. Thank you so much!
How can I know when the equilibrium favor more products/ please.
thank u teacher . I didn't understand the le chatelier's principle in school but from your video I understand fully...thanks a lot
Thank you so much I seriously have been struggling to grasp the shifting
You said if you remove N2 you are shifting to the right but the arrow points to the left! Which is it???
Thank you so much. Life saver. Got my IGCSE tomorrow.
how was it
When increasing T, the heat would always be in the product side? If not, how do you know which side does the heat goes?
so thankful to have stumbled across this video. saved from this chapter fr
Does adding other substances other than what's in the equilibrium affects the equilibrium?
When he talks about the temperature change is it only for exothermic reactions are does it work for endothermic reactions as well.
Thank you soooo much! I couldn't have understood this principle if it weren't for this video.
