Le Chatelier's Principle

Predicting how systems at equilibrium respond to changes in concentration, pressure, and temperature.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does a system at equilibrium 'oppose' an external stress?
  2. 2Why does a change in pressure only affect equilibrium systems involving gases?
  3. 3How can industrial chemists manipulate equilibrium to maximize product yield?
