The Le Chatelier Principle

The Le Chatelier Principle states that if a system at equilibrium experiences a change, such as a shift in temperature, pressure, or concentration, the system will adjust to counteract that change and restore balance. For example, if you add more reactants to a chemical reaction, the system will produce more products in response. This principle helps predict how chemical reactions and processes will respond to changes, ensuring the system tries to maintain a state of equilibrium despite external influences.
