Which of the following describes Le Chatelier's Principle?

  • A Reactions always favor products
  • B Systems at equilibrium resist changes to conditions
  • C Catalysts change equilibrium position
  • D Reactions cannot reach equilibrium
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Systems at equilibrium resist changes to conditions
Explanation: Le Chatelier's Principle states that when a system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, or pressure, it shifts in the direction that counteracts the disturbance to restore a new equilibrium state.
