The document discusses chemical equilibrium and Le Chatelier's principle. It defines chemical equilibrium as a state where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. It also explains that Le Chatelier's principle states that if a stress is applied to a system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift to reduce the effect of the stress, such as changes in concentration or temperature.
