Reactivity 2. How much, how fast and how far? » Reactivity 2.3—How far? The extent of chemical change » Reactivity 2.3.4—Le Châtelier’s principle enables the prediction of the qualitative effects of changes in concentration, temperature and pressure to a system at equilibrium. Apply Le Ch.telier’s principle to predict and explain responses to changes of systems at equilibrium.
