Le Châtelier’s principle states that The system will have one reaction dominate until the offsetting changes allow the rates of the forward and reverse reactions to be equal again (reestablishing equilibrium). If the forward reaction dominates in order to offset the changes‚ we say the system “shifts to the right” or “shifts toward products” in order to reestablish equilibrium conditions. This will increase the concentration of the products and decrease the concentration of the reactants. However
