Le Chatelier's Principle states that when a system experiences a disturbance, it will respond to restore a new equilibrium state[1]. This means that when one or more factors that affect an equilibrium is changed, the position of equilibrium shifts in the direction that opposes the change. For example, if more reactants are added to an equilibrium system, according to Le Chatelier's Principle, more products will be produced and the equilibrium position is said to be shifted to the right until the equilibrium is resotred.
