    Le Chatelier's Principle states that chemical systems at equilibrium will respond to stress in a way that reduces the stress. The principle can be used to predict how changes in temperature, pressure, or concentration will impact a system at equilibrium by causing it to shift in a direction that counteracts the stress. The document provides an example table summarizing the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and concentration based on Le Chatelier's Principle.

    Le Chatelier’s Principle

    “Equilibrium" refers to a state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions of a
    reversible chemical reaction are equal, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of
    reactants and products over time. At equilibrium, the system is said to be in a dynamic
    state, with molecules constantly moving between reactants and products, but the overall
    concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant. Le Chatelier's Principle is
    a fundamental concept in chemistry that predicts the e ect of changes in temperature,
    pressure, concentration, and other factors on a chemical system at equilibrium. In
    summary, the principle states:

    When a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress or change, the system will adjust to
    counteract the stress and restore equilibrium.

    The principle is widely used in chemistry to explain and predict how chemical reactions
    respond to changes in their environment. This can include a change in concentration,
    temperature and pressure. For example, if the concentration of one reactant in a reaction
    at equilibrium is increased, the system will shift to favor the production of the products in
    order to counteract the increase in concentration of the reactant. Similarly, if the
    temperature of the system is increased, the system will shift in a direction that absorbs
    heat to counteract the temperature increase.

    The following table summarises the e ects of changes in temperature, pressure, and
    concentration on chemical equilibria, based on Le Chatelier's Principle:

    Change E ect on Equilibrium


    Temperature increase Endothermic reaction is favoured as this reaction takes in
    more heat and reduces temperature.
    Temperature decrease Exothermic reaction is favoured as this reaction released more
    heat to increase temperature.
    Pressure increase Reaction shifts to the side with fewer molecules as this
    reaction reduces the number of molecules present and thus
    reduces pressure. (NOTE: Look at balancing numbers to
    determine number of molecules.)
    Pressure decrease Reaction shifts to the side with more molecules as this
    reaction increases the number of molecules present and thus
    increases pressure.
    Concentration increase Reaction shifts to the side that consumes the added species;
    reaction shifts away from the side of the added species.
    Concentration decrease Reaction shifts to the side that produces the removed species;
    reaction shifts towards the side of the removed species.
