  2. Le Chatelier's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier's_principle

    When heat is removed and the temperature decreases, the reaction shifts to the left and the flask turns colorless due to an increase in N 2 O 4: again, according to Le Chatelier's principle. The effect of changing the temperature in the equilibrium can be made clear by 1) incorporating heat as either a reactant or a product, and 2) assuming ...

  3. Common-ion effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-ion_effect

    According to Le Chatelier's principle, the addition of acetate ions from sodium acetate will suppress the ionization of acetic acid and shift its equilibrium to the left. Thus the percent dissociation of the acetic acid will decrease, and the pH of the solution will increase.

  4. Henry Louis Le Chatelier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Louis_Le_Chatelier

    Le Chatelier was born on 8 October 1850 in Paris and was the son of French materials engineer Louis Le Chatelier and Louise Durand. His father was an influential figure who played important roles in the birth of the French aluminium industry, the introduction of the Martin-Siemens processes into the iron and steel industries, and the rise of railway transportation.

  5. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    The gas mixture is cooled to 450 °C in a heat exchanger using water, freshly supplied gases, and other process streams. The ammonia also condenses and is separated in a pressure separator. Unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are then compressed back to the process by a circulating gas compressor , supplemented with fresh gas, and fed to the ...

  6. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    By Le Chatelier's principle, the release of CO 2 from the lungs pushes the reaction above to the left, causing carbonic anhydrase to form CO 2 until all excess protons are removed. Bicarbonate concentration is also further regulated by renal compensation , the process by which the kidneys regulate the concentration of bicarbonate ions by ...

  7. Chemical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equilibrium

    Le Châtelier's principle (1884) predicts the behavior of an equilibrium system when changes to its reaction conditions occur. If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to partially reverse the change. For example, adding more S (to the chemical reaction above) from the outside will ...

  8. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant

    The acid dissociation constant for an acid is a direct consequence of the underlying thermodynamics of the dissociation reaction; the pK a value is directly proportional to the standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction. The value of the pK a changes with temperature and can be understood qualitatively based on Le Châtelier's principle ...

  9. Effects of climate change on the water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    The human-caused changes to the water cycle will increase hydrologic variability and therefore have a profound impact on the water sector and investment decisions. [9] They will affect water availability ( water resources ), water supply , water demand , water security and water allocation at regional, basin, and local levels.
