Answer:

Stressing an equilibrium system means altering physical conditions to favor either side of the reaction in progress.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stress of equilibrium is achieved either by increasing physical properties or decreasing them eg. properties like pressure,volume or temperature of a substance.

These properties affect the direction of a reaction for a system in equilibrium.
