Le Chatelier's Principle

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Equilibrium reactions are able to reach a steady state of products and reactants, but what happens when this careful balance is disturbed? With the help of this instructional video, young chemists learn to apply Le Chatelier's principle to predict how chemical equilibriums shift when concentration, temperature, and volume are changed.
