Le Chateliers Principle
Le Chateliers Principle states that if a
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up is made to a chemical system in
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up , the system will adjust in a way so as to
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up or oppose the imposed change.
This will mean that if the concentration of a substance in the equilibrium is increased the reaction will favour
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up the substance.
If the equilibrium reaction involves gaseous substances then an
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up in pressure of a gas will favour the reaction in lowering or decreasing the pressure.
As to how the equilibrium will react when changing the temperature of the reaction in equilibrium it is necessary to consider the
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up or
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up of the reaction. If the forward reaction is
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up and releasing heat energy, then when the temperature is increased the equilibrium will favour the direction of reaction to
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up the temperature.
We can also say that if the concentration of a substance in the equilibrium is
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up the reaction will favour producing that substance.
If the equilibrium reaction involves gaseous substances then a decrease in pressure of a gas will favour the reaction in
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up the pressure.
Also if the forward reaction in an equilibrium is endothermic and
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up heat energy, then when the
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up is decreased the equilibrium will favour the
change in conditions counteract decrease decreased direction of reaction to increase enthalpy equilibrium exothermic heat of the reaction increase raising or increasing takes in temperature using up the temperature.
