Le Chateliers Principle states that if a is made to a chemical system in , the system will adjust in a way so as to or oppose the imposed change.

This will mean that if the concentration of a substance in the equilibrium is increased the reaction will favour the substance.

If the equilibrium reaction involves gaseous substances then an in pressure of a gas will favour the reaction in lowering or decreasing the pressure.

As to how the equilibrium will react when changing the temperature of the reaction in equilibrium it is necessary to consider the or of the reaction. If the forward reaction is and releasing heat energy, then when the temperature is increased the equilibrium will favour the direction of reaction to the temperature.

We can also say that if the concentration of a substance in the equilibrium is the reaction will favour producing that substance.

If the equilibrium reaction involves gaseous substances then a decrease in pressure of a gas will favour the reaction in the pressure.

Also if the forward reaction in an equilibrium is endothermic and heat energy, then when the is decreased the equilibrium will favour the the temperature.
