Question

Le châtelier's principle states that if a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system _____ to relieve the stress.

Answer 1

Answer:

Le châtelier's principle states that if a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress.

Explanation:

This principle shows that when we change a system in equilibrium, it will seek to acquire a new state that nullifies this disturbance. Thus, there is a displacement of equilibrium, that is, a search for a new equilibrium situation, favoring one of the senses of the reaction. If it favors the direct reaction, with formation of more product, we say that the equilibrium has shifted to the right. However, it is said that it shifted to the left if the reverse reaction was favored, with formation of reagents.
