What is the Le Chatelier's principle?

The Le Chatelier principle was estates that if there is a change in the conditions in a dynamic equilibrium system, the equilibrium of the system will move in order to counteract the change. The conditions to be changed can be the volume of reagents, pressure and temperature. In the case of temperature, the endothermic reaction in the equilibrum is going to be the favoured oneso he equilibrium will move to the side which favours this reaction. f the pressure is increased in a dynamic equilibrium involvin gases, the equilibrium will shift to side that has the lesser moles of gas. Finally, if the volume of a reagent is increased the equilibrum will move towards the side of the product in order to counteract this change.
