Solution

Le Chatelier's Principle states that when the concentration, pressure or temperature of a system at equilibrium is changed, the system will readjust itself so as to nullify the effect of that change and attain a new state of equilibrium.

Q. When in any system at equilibrium state pressure, temperature or concentration is changed then the equilibrium will shift in such a direction which neutralizes the effect of change.

When a change is brought about in pressure, temperature or concentration of a reversible reation which has attained equilibrium, the equilibria tries to shift in such a direction which would neutralize the effect of change. This is known as

Q. If a change is imposed in the concentration, temperature or pressure on a chemical system at equilibrium, the system responds in a way that the change is

Q. Assertion :The endothermic reactions are favoured at lower temperature and the exothermic reactions are favoured at higher temperature. Reason: When a system in equilibrium is disturbed by changing the temperature, it will tend to adjust itself so as to overcome the effect of the change.

For a system in equilibrium, if the concentration of the reacting species is increased then the system will readjust itself to decrease the reactant concentration favoring a backward reaction.
