Kinetics and Chemical Equilibrium · Chemical Reactions

Le Chatelier's Principle

Predicting how a system at equilibrium responds to external stresses such as changes in pressure or concentration.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does a chemical system work to counteract a change and reestablish equilibrium?
  2. 2Why does changing the volume of a container only affect reactions involving gases?
  3. 3How can industrial chemists use equilibrium shifts to maximize product output?
