Le Chatelier's Principle
Le Chatelier’s Principle states that if a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or pressure, then the equilibrium changes in response to the imposed change and a new equilibrium is established. Le Chatelier’s Principle is observed by modifying a Warm-Up activity that was completed in an earlier topic. In that Warm-Up, you transferred water from equally-sized cups with equally sized beakers until equilibrium was achieved. What would happen if you transferred water from buckets with beakers of unequal size?
