  Henri Louis Le Chatelier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henri Louis Le Chatelier (Paris, October 8, 1850 - Miribel-les-Echelles September 17, 1936) was an influential French chemist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In chemistry, Henry Le Chatelier is known for his work on the principle of chemical equilibrium (known as Le Chatelier's principle) and on the variation of the solubility of salts in an ideal solution.
Le Chatelier was named "chevalier" (knight) of the Légion d'honneur in 1887, became "officier" (officer) in 1908, "commandeur" (Knight Commander) in 1919 and was finally awarded the title of "grand officier" (Knight Grand Officer) in May of 1927.

Le Chatelier abandoned the project, and less than five years later, Haber and Claude were successful in producing ammonia on a commercial scale, acknowledging that the account of Le Chatelier's failed attempt had accelerated their research.
Le Chatelier's interest in and use of the mathematics of thermodynamics may be surprising to teachers who, informed by the standard textbook treatment of his Principle, use Le Chatelier as an example of a qualitative treatment of equilibrium.
Le Chatelier's career was marked by a disdain for unsubstantiated speculation, coupled with an almost uncanny sense of the interrelationship between theoria and praxis in science.

In pharmacology, the binding of ligands to the receptor may shift the equilibrium according to Le Châtelier's principle thereby explaining the diverse phenomena of receptor activation and desensitization (for example see link).
Using Le Châtelier's principle we can predict that the amount of methanol will increase, decreasing the total change in CO. If we are to add a species to the overall reaction, the reaction will favor the side opposing the addition of the species.

Le ChAtelier's principle, chemical principle that states that if a system in equilibrium is disturbed by changes in determining factors, such as temperature, pressure, and concentration of components, the system will tend to shift its equilibrium position so as to counteract the effect of the disturbance (see chemical equilibrium).
Le ChAtelier's principle is evident in chemical systems, as in the common-ion effect and in buffer solutions (see also separate article on pH).

 World Future Society — Methodology Forum, essay by Dr. David J. Goodwill
This paper argues that Le Chatelier’s Principle may be extended beyond simple chemical equilibria and applied to a wide variety of everyday situations involving systems that are in equilibrium.
However, it has to be said that it is likely that the application of Le Chatelier to situations outside of the chemical equilibria, to which it was originally applied, is only likely to prove to be valid where relatively small stresses and perturbations are being applied to the system in question.
A good example of the power of Le Chatelier in a situation where it was not used but should have been relates to the period just after the oil crisis of 1976.

Le Châtelier's principle can be stated as follows: If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure, or the concentration of one of the components, the system will shift its equilibrium position so as to counteract the effect of the disturbance.
Le Châtelier's principle states that the shift will be in the direction that minimizes or reduces the effect of the change.
According to Le Châtelier's principle, the equilibrium shifts to the side that reduces the total number of moles of gas, which is the reactant side in this case.
