Le Chatelier's Principle

Predicting the shift of a system in response to changes in concentration, temperature, and pressure.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do industrial chemists manipulate equilibrium to maximize the yield of products like ammonia?
  2. 2Why does a change in temperature alter the equilibrium constant while a change in pressure does not?
  3. 3How does the addition of an inert gas affect the equilibrium position of a gaseous system?
