Henry, Louis

We are not satisfied with the conclusion that this change or that change affects the equilibrium concentrations. We would also like to predict the direction of the effect (does it favor products or reactants ) and the magnitude of the effect (how much does it favor products or reactants ). The first desire, to know the qualitative effects, is answered by a generalization first proposed by a French chemist, Henry Louis Le Chatelier, and now called Le Chatelier s Principle. 

A quick qualitative indication of how a system at equilibrium responds to a change in conditions can be obtained using Le Chatelier s principle, which was first formulated in 1884 by Henri-Louis Le Chatelier, a French industrial chemist. 

Le Chatelier s principle is named after Henri Louis le Chatelier (1850-1937). He also spelt his first name the English way, as Henry. ... 

Henry Louis Gehrig a New York Yankees first baseman, inducted into the American Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939, died 2 years later. The disease is so rare that it became known due to him and is widely known as Lou Gehrig s disease . For more informtion on metals and neurodegenerative diseases see Crichton and Ward, 2006. 

In the early 1700s, Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau (1700—1782) was the first to realize that many minerals exhibited similar alkaline (basic) characteristics. He studied samples of salts both derived artificially and found in nature, including saltpeter (potassium nitrate used in gunpowder), table salt, Glauber s salt, sea salt, and borax. 

Henri-Louis du Hamel (or Duhamel) du Monceau, 1700—1782. French chemist and agriculturist who proved in 1736 that the mineral alkali (soda) is a constituent of common salt, of Glauber s salt, and of borax With his brother, M. de Denarn-villiers, he carried out important experiments in plant nutrition on their estate... 

How a chemical system at equilibrium changes when conditions change was first stated by Henri Louis Le Chatelier (1850-1936) in 1884. Le Chatelier was a professor at a mining school in France who worked on both the theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry. His research on the chemistry of cements led him to formulate a principle to predict how changing the pressure affected a chemical system. In the publication Annals of Mines in 1888, Le Chatelier stated the principle that bears his name Every change of one of the factors... 

Henry-Louis Le Chdtelier was a French chemist. He devised Le Chdtelier s principle, which explains the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. He also worked on the variation in the solubility of salts in an ideal solution. 

In 1884, French chemist Henri Louis Le Chatelier enunciated a qualitative principle of great insight and generality pertaining to the responses of chemical equilibrium when subjected... 

The qualitative effect of the listed changes on the composition of an equilibrium mixture can be predicted using a principle first described by the French chemist Henri-Louis Le Chatelier ...

Henri Louis Le Chatelier (1850-1936), the French physical chemist and metallurgist, seen here while a student at the Ecole Polytechnique. 

In 1888, the French chemist Henri-Louis Le ChStelier discovered that there are ways to control equilibria to make reactions, including this one, more productive. He proposed what is now called Le Chatelier s principle If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in the direction that relieves the stress. A stress is any kind of change in a system at equilibrium that upsets the equilibrium. You can use Le Chatelier s principle to predict how changes in concentration, volume (pressure), and temperature affect equilibrium. Changes in volume and pressure are interrelated because decreasing the volume of a reaction vessel at constant temperature increases the pressure inside. Conversely, increasing the volume decreases the pressure. 

Second, the notion of process dominates the work of three philosophers of the last century Henri-Louis Bergson (1859-1941), Samuel Alexander (1859-1938), and Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) (see Ayer, 1982, pp. 208-9). In passing, it is perhaps worth noting that process theology is based on the metaphysics of Whitehead, who rejected Divine Action in terms of causality, proposing that God acts persuasively in all events, but not necessarily in determining their character. Specifically, Whitehead pointed out the incoherence of belief in a lifeless universe. 

If a reaction reaches equilibrium, how can you obtain large quantities of a product Won t the product constantly become a reactant Keep in mind that reactions in equilibrium are stable. The French scientist Henri Louis Le Chatelier proposed in 1884 that disturbing an equdibriiun wiU make a system readjust to reduce the disturbance and regain equilibrium, Figure 6.15. This principle regarding changes in equilibrium is called Le Chatelier s principle. 

Henri-Louis Le Chatelier was bom into a family of architects, engineers, and scientists in Paris. His family home was hke a drop-in center for France s leading chemists. Le Chatelier became a well-known industrial chemist himself, interested in metallurgy, cements, glasses, fuels, explosives, and, most famously, chemical equilibrium. By mixing theoretical work with practical applications, Le Chatelier became one of France s most valuable and productive chemists.
