Concept Introduction:
The net concentrations of the reactants and products do not change at equilibrium. They are used to define an expression and the equilibrium constant (K) which has a characteristic value.
For a reaction at a given temperature,
Le Chatelier's principle is a general rule used to explain the effect of a change in reaction conditions on equilibrium.
