rules for Chemical equalibrium lieing to the left or right?

Question

what are the rules for finding which direction the equalibrium lies in a chemical equation

Answer 1

There is really no way that someone who is untrained to look at a reaction and say which way the reaction is going to go. In order to determine if the reaction lies to the right or the left, you need to find out which reaction is more thermodynamically favourable, and whether or not it can occur in a reasonable amount of time.
