Poke It, and It Pushes Back

You'll learnhow a stress moves an equilibrium, and which single change moves K itself.

A settled flask is not fragile. Squirt something in, drain something out, squeeze the container — it moves to a new position and settles again. Two of those moves get blamed on the wrong thing, and one change on the list is the only one that touches K. Twelve short steps; press Next for each one.

poke a settled flask · watch Q move and K stay
Before you start
What you're looking at
A settled flask running A + B into C, with a bar chart and a number line carrying K and Q.
The question
Poke it. Does the position of the equilibrium move, or does K itself move?
