∆H = - kJ mol -1
Le Chateller’s Principle states that if a stress (changes
in reaction conditions) is applied to a system in equilibrium,
then the systems adjust in order to reduce the effect of the
stress applied. The position of equilibrium moves to the
left if you increase the temperature
The stress that may affect a system at chemical
equilibrium include changes in the concentration of either A + 2B ⇌ C + D ∆
-1
products or reactants, changes in temperature and changes in H = - kJ mol
pressure for gaseous equilibria.
