Le Chatelier's Principle

Predicting how a system at equilibrium responds to external stresses like pressure or temperature changes.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do chemical systems push back against changes in their environment?
  2. 2Why does increasing pressure only affect equilibrium systems containing gases?
  3. 3How can industrial chemists manipulate equilibrium to maximize product output?
