Le Chatelier's Principle
Students will predict how a system at equilibrium responds to changes in concentration, pressure, and temperature.
Key Questions
- Predict the shift in equilibrium position when concentration, pressure, or temperature is changed.
- Explain why adding a solid reactant or product does not shift the equilibrium.
- Analyze real-world applications of Le Chatelier's Principle in industrial processes.
