"When a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change in temperature, pressure or concentration, the equilibrium is displaced in a direction which tends to undo the effect of the change." This is called the_______________?
Correct answer: A. Le-Chatelier principle
- A. Le-Chatelier principle
- B. Kopp's rule
- C. Law of corresponding state
- D. Arrhenius hypothesis
Explanation
Le Chatelier's principle predicts that an equilibrium responds to a change in temperature, pressure, or concentration by shifting in the direction that opposes that change. The other named rules concern different chemical concepts.
