You have prepared a container with these compounds and allowed it to come to equilibrium. You now have a choice of different ways to modify your system at equilibrium:
Le Chatelier’s Principle
In an esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water. This reaction establishes an equilibrium because the reverse process can also occur. If the water is allowed to boil and leave the system as water vapour, how will the equilibrium respond?

Equilibrium plots: Equilibrium constant
You mix three unknown compounds in a container: a solid (A), and two gases (E and X). You do not know the chemical formula of any of the compounds, but you are able to track the progress of the reaction by measuring changes in the concentrations of both gases, as shown in the graph below.
Which of these reactions and equilibrium constants could be represented by the data shown in this graph?
