State Le Chatelier's principle.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the explanation of Le Chatelier's principle, which is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes how a system at equilibrium responds to changes in concentration, temperature, or pressure.
Answer
A change in one of the variables that describe a system at equilibrium produces a shift in the position of the equilibrium that counteracts the effect of this change.
Le Chatelier's principle states that a change in one of the variables that describe a system at equilibrium produces a shift in the position of the equilibrium that counteracts the effect of this change.
Answer for screen readers
Le Chatelier's principle states that a change in one of the variables that describe a system at equilibrium produces a shift in the position of the equilibrium that counteracts the effect of this change.
More Information
Le Chatelier's principle helps predict how a change in conditions (like concentration, temperature, or pressure) will affect chemical equilibrium.
