Explain Le Chatelier's principle.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of Le Chatelier's principle, which relates to the behavior of equilibrium systems in response to changes in concentration, temperature, or pressure. This principle is used to predict how an equilibrium will shift to counteract external changes.
Answer
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract the disturbance and establish a new equilibrium.
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change and restore a new equilibrium.
Answer for screen readers
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change and restore a new equilibrium.
More Information
Le Chatelier's principle is fundamental in understanding how chemical reactions respond to changes in temperature, pressure, and concentration.
Tips
A common mistake is to think that the system will favor the reverse reaction when disturbed. Instead, it will favor whichever direction counteracts the change.
