State and explain Lichateliers principle and discuss its application.
1. Le-Chatelier's principle
Equilibrium state of a reversible reaction can be disturbed by changing temperature, pressure, volume and concentration of reaction system. This fact was thoroughly studied by a French Chemist Henry Louis Le-Chatelier in 1884. He made a generalization which is termed as Le-Chatelier's principle. This principle states that, ‘when a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change in temperature, pressure, volume and concentration, the equilibrium shifts in such a...
