Le Chatelier's principle states that a system at equilibrium responds to a stress by:
ADoing nothing
BAlways going backward
CAlways going forward
DShifting in a direction that partially offsets the stress
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Shifting in a direction that partially offsets the stress
The system shifts in a direction that partially counteracts (offsets) the change applied. Applies to temperature, pressure, concentration changes.
