Le Chatelier’s Principle
a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change to reestablish an equilibrium
Enthalpy changes favour the exothermic direction of a reaction since these involve products with lower potential energy
Disorder
the greater the disorder the higher the entropy

Entropy
Systems tend to move spontaneously toward a state of maximum randomness or disorder
Equilibrium Systems
