1. le chatelier's principle

   Le Chatelier's Principle is a scientific law in the field of chemistry that states if a dynamic equilibrium is disrupted or disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium will shift to counteract the change and restore an equilibrium state. This can involve changes in temperature, pressure, concentration, or volume. This principle is widely used to predict the effect of a change in conditions on chemical reactions.

1. Le Chatelier's principle

   In chemistry, Le Chatelier's principle, also called Chatelier's principle or "The Equilibrium Law", can be used to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. The principle is named after Henry Louis Le Chatelier and sometimes Karl Ferdinand Braun who discovered it independently. It can be summarized as: This principle has a variety of names, depending upon the discipline using it. See, for example, homeostasis. It is common to take Le Chatelier's principle to be a more general observation, roughly stated: In chemistry, the principle is used to manipulate the outcomes of reversible reactions, often to increase the yield of reactions. In pharmacology, the binding of ligands to the receptor may shift the equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle, thereby explaining the diverse phenomena of receptor activation and desensitization. In economics, the principle has been generalized to help explain the price equilibrium of efficient economic systems. In simultaneous equilibrium systems, phenomena that are in apparent contradiction to Le Chatelier's principle can occur; these can be resolved by the theory of response reactions.
