Le Chatelier—Braun principle

The two examples discussed above show that the principle of Le Chatelier and Braun suffers from a number of important exceptions. Many workers have attempted to restate this principle in a completely general form but this form, if it exists at all, is necessarily very complex. It seems therefore more logical to discuss problems arising in 

To this extent we may regard this inequality as the most general form of the Le Chatelier-Braun principle. 

It is interesting to observe that systems involving irreversible changes may also under certain circumstances obey the moderation theorems.

This may be illustrated by some experiments of Fanjung (Zeitsch physik Chem, 14, 673, 1894), who by means of conductivity measurements determined the dissociation constants (the Ostwald constant) for a series of weak acids in aqueous solutions at various piessures It appears to be a general conclusion that the process of ionisation is accompanied by a contraction, or decrease in volume Hence the Le Chatelier-Braun principle (embodied quantitatively in the above expression) predicts that on increasing the pressure the degree of dissociation should increase also, that is the dissociation constant should increase. Fanjung found this to be the case The term Vl - V2 in this case represents the contraction due to the transfer of 1 gram-mole from the unionised to the ionised state For acetic acid at 180 C Fanjung found that... 

In this chapter we apply the general criteria for equilibrium developed in Chap. 6 to systems in which chemical reactions may occur. In Sec. 8-1, we present a general discussion of chemical equilibrium in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The concept of a progress variable is introduced, and the conditions for chemical equilibrium are derived. The equilibrium constant is defined, and some of its properties are developed. A discussion of the Le Chatelier-Braun principle applied to chemical reactions is presented. In Sec. 8-2, the results of Sec. 8-1 are applied to chemical reactions in mixtures of real gases. 

The Le Chatelier Braun Principle. The Le Chateher-Braun principle states that a thermodynamic system tends to balance the effects of any stress inflicted upon it. We shall present an elementary proof of this principle as applied to chemical reactions. (More complete discussions may be found in W. Schottky, Thermodynamik, sec. 28, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Vienna, 1929.)... 

Both thermodynamic and stoichiometric considerations are taken into account in maximizing the formation of SO3. The Le Chatelier-Braun principle is usually taken into account in deciding how to optimize the equilibrium. This states that when an equilibrium system is subjected to stress, the system will tend to adjust itself in sueh a way that part of the stress is relieved. These stresses are, for example, variations of temperature, pressure, or concentration of a reactant. 

This condition can be used to derive the Le Chatelier-Braun principle discussed in section 9.3. 

This principle akin to the modem Le Chatelier - Braun principle provided, in many cases, correct qualitative predictions of the direction of themial processes. Quoting Oinipides of Chios for a typical example consistent with the principle of antiperistasis Water in a deep well shows in winter the smallest degree of coldness, while in very hot days is extraordinarily cold. Interestingly, this statement is actually valid and is not only a consequence of our subjective feelings, but was confirmed by careful hydrological studies. 

Both Eqs. (3.15) and (3.16) represent equilibrium reactions. The carbamate formation step (Eq. (3.15)) is exothermic and hence, according to the le Chatelier-Braun principle (see Section 3.1.1), favored by lower temperatures. At temperatures favorable... 

Le Chatelier-Braun principle When a system is in equilibrium, any stress applied to the system results in a change in direction such that the stress will be relieved.
