Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we discuss conditions and equilibrium in a reversible reaction.Reversible reactions reach a state of equilibrium, where the amounts of reactants and products remain constant. Altering the conditions of such a system will disrupt this balance. Le Chatelier's principle explains that the system will respond in a way that opposes the imposed change, attempting to re-establish equilibrium. This principle serves as a tool for predicting how a system at equilibrium will shift when subjected to new conditions. The analogy of falling off and then successfully mounting a horse illustrates the system's tendency to return to a state of balance after a disturbance.Don't miss out on subscribing for more educational content tailored to help you succeed in your exams.
