Equilibrium and Reversibility · Chemical Systems

Le Chatelier's Principle

Predicting and explaining the response of a system at equilibrium to changes in temperature, pressure, and concentration.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does a system counteract an external change to regain stability?
  2. 2Why does a change in volume only affect equilibrium if gaseous species are present?
  3. 3How can we manipulate conditions to maximize the yield of a desired product?
