Introduction to Equilibria

Le Chaltelier's Principle states that if a chemical system at equilibrium is stressed,

• the system will adjust to increase the stress
• the system will adjust to reduce the stress
• the system will not adjust

This symbol indicates that a reaction is ____________

• reversible
• irreversible
