Le Chatelier's Principle
Students will apply Le Chatelier's Principle to predict how changes in conditions affect systems at equilibrium.
Key Questions
- Predict how a change in concentration of a reactant will shift a chemical equilibrium.
- Explain the effect of temperature and pressure changes on an equilibrium system.
- Design a strategy to maximize the yield of a product in an industrial chemical process using Le Chatelier's Principle.
