A state of dynamic balance where the rate of the forwards reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction

Le Chatelier's Principle

If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium,the system readjusts to relieve the stress applied

What does Le Chatelier's Principle predict?

that in an all gaseous reaction an increase in pressure will favour the reaction which takes place with reduction of volume, i.e. towards the side with th smaller number of molecules
