Le Chatelier's principle (stress and shift) (If stress applied, equilibrium shifts to partially oppose the stress)
jee-mainjee-advancedneet-ug
If stress applied, equilibrium shifts to partially oppose the stress
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| shift | Net reaction direction restoring partial relief of stress |
| stress | Change in concentration, partial pressure, volume, or temperature |
When to use this
Valid qualitative predictor; K changes only with T, not with concentration or pressure (for ideal systems).
