In this section, you learned that the expression for the reaction quotient is the same as the expression for the equilibrium constant. The concentrations that are used to solve these expressions may be different, however. When Qc is less than Kc, the reaction proceeds to form more products. When Qc is greater than Kc, the reaction proceeds to form more reactants. These changes continue until Qc is equal to Kc. Le Chatelier s principle describes this tendency of a chemical system to return to equilibrium after a change moves it from equilibrium. The industrial process for manufacturing ammonia illustrates how chemical engineers apply Le Chatelier s principle to provide the most economical yield of a valuable chemical product. 

In addition to the need to consider human reactions in designing plants, processes, and equipment, the chemical engineer always will be dealing with people in plant operations. In the chemical industry, most chemical engineers apply their skills in operations, management, safety, loss prevention, and other related activities.

Engineers apply risk assessment to pollution prevention in their strategies. Risk is expressed as a mathematical function of hazards and exposures. Risk assessment methods help quantify the degree of environmental impact for individual chemicals. Engineers apply technologies to control the risks as an element of the design processes and products, taking into account the likelihood that certain actions wiU occur. Thus,...
