Define Le Chatelier's Principle.
A) When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system shifts in a direction that maximizes the disturbance.
B) A system will always change if the pressure changes.
C) When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system shifts in a direction that equals the disturbance.
D) When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system shifts in a direction that minimizes the disturbance.
E) A system will always change if the volume changes
