Le Châtelier’s Principle

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Le Châtelier’s principle states that if a stress (such as a change in concentration, pressure, or temperature) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will shift to counteract that stress. For example, increasing reactant concentration shifts equilibrium toward product formation. This principle helps in optimizing conditions for industrial synthesis (e.g., adjusting temperature and pressure for ammonia production in the Haber process).
