Le Châtelier's Principle Worksheet

This document discusses Le Châtelier's principle and how changing conditions affects chemical equilibria. It provides examples of 6 chemical equilibrium reactions and describes how the position of equilibrium would shift in response to changes in concentration, pressure, temperature, and volume. Increasing or decreasing the concentration of reactants and products causes the equilibrium to shift in the direction that counteracts the applied stress. Increasing pressure and decreasing volume typically favors the side with fewer total gases, while temperature changes favor the exothermic or endothermic direction depending on the sign of the enthalpy change.
