Equilibrium Question

[4231]

If you dilute a solution with unequal reactants and and products, does the equilibrium change?
I know as soon as you dilute it, all the concentrations decrease, but does the equilibrium shift to the side with more particles?
Thanks

The equilibrium constant does not change, as this has been "scientifically proven" (I think I read this somewhere, anyway) to be only affected by temperature.

However, when diluted, the system is no longer in equilibrium and thus will cause a shift in the direction of more particles.

The whole point of the equilibrium constant IS because it doesnt change!

The equilibrium constant will tell you what the NEW concentrations are. If you change the constant, then you kinda screw up your calculations.

This is a tricky question as the amount of products and reactants you are adding differs. The shift may not necessarily go to the side with more particles.
Say for example that the side with more particles is the side with products and you add an excessive amount of products and only a few reactants to the mixture, the mixture may shift towards the reactants as the amount of products is far greater than the reactants, despite it being the products being the side with more particles.
However if you dilute with water the mixture will shift towards the side with more particles.
Hope that made sense...
