Le Chatelier's Principle Predictor
Predict chemical equilibrium shifts when temperature, pressure, or concentration changes.
Calculation Parameters
Adjust the values below.
Calculated Result
Equilibrium Shift
Adding reactants shifts the equilibrium to consume reactants, producing more products.
Expert Tip
Ensure units are correctly formatted (e.g. Kelvin for gas temperatures and liters for volumes) to get chemically accurate outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Le Chatelier's Principle? ▼
If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.
How does increasing temperature affect exothermic reactions? ▼
Increasing temperature shifts an exothermic reaction (heat as product) to the left toward reactants.
How does decreasing container volume affect gas equilibrium? ▼
Decreasing volume increases pressure, shifting equilibrium to the side with fewer total moles of gas.
