The Le Chatelier's principle states that when a chemical system at equilibrium, the system shifts in a direction that minimizes the disturbance. If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change to reestablish an equilibrium. For example if a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change.
