Question

What is Le Chartelier's Principal

Answer 1

ANSWER:

_____________________________

The Le Chatelier's Principle states that any change in a substance on one side of the equation, either in concentration, temperature, pressure or volume, results in an equilibrium shift to oppose the change until a new equilibrium is reached.

For example when the reactant concentration is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction so that more and more reactants will react. This will decrease the reactant concentration.

_____________________________

Answer 2

A principle stating that if a constraint (such as a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of a reactant) is applied to a system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift so as to tend to counteract the effect of the constraint.
