General Chemistry - Le Chatelier's Principle & Reaction Quotients | 15.2 General Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on Le Chatelier's Principle which states that if a stress is placed on a system at equilibrium, the system will respond to counteract the stress. If you're at all struggling with this concept, then check out this lesson as Chad explains Le Chatelier's Principle from 3 different perspectives: based upon the definition, by comparing the reaction quotient (Q) to the equilibrium constant (K), and by comparing the forward rate to the reverse rate. They all reinforce each other to help the student correctly predict whether a system will shift left or shift right including how to predict temperature and pressure effects. I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page.
