For example, if the concentration of a reactant is increased, the system will shift in the direction that consumes that reactant, thus reducing its concentration and restoring equilibrium. Similarly, if the temperature is increased, the system will shift in the direction that absorbs heat, thus cooling the system down and restoring equilibrium.
Le Châtelier's principle is a useful tool for predicting the direction of a chemical reaction when the system is subjected to a change in conditions. 또한 원하는 제품을 생산하기 위해 화학 반응을 설계하는 데 사용될 수 있습니다.
