Concept, principle, and explanation
Principle: If a change in condition (e.g., concentration, pressure, temperature) is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift in a direction that tends to reduce that change. Applicable conditions: Reversible reactions at equilibrium. Description: This is a qualitative rule for predicting the direction of equilibrium shift. It is used in the ammonia synthesis industry to choose conditions like high pressure (to increase yield) and low temperature (while considering reaction rate).
