nitrate and potassium thiocyanate, as well as cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate in water, equilibrium systems disturbed by stress (changing the amount of reagents and temperature) will shift in order to minimize the stress. Therefore, if the concentration of reactant increases, the rate of the forward reaction will increase and equilibrium will reestablish when the concentration of products increase (vice versa).
