Le Chatelier's Principle

3 Factors that Perturb Equilibrium

Definition

1) Change in Concentration of reactants or products

2)Change in Pressure

 Adding an inert gas into a gas-phase equilibrium at constant volume does not result in a shift. This is because the addition of a non-reactive gas does not change the partial pressures of the other gases in the container. While it is true that the total pressure of the system increases, the total pressure does not have any effect on the equilibrium constant; rather, it is a change in partial pressures that will cause a shift in the equilibrium. If, however, the volume is allowed to increase in the process, the partial pressures of all gases would be decreased resulting in a shift towards the side with the greater number of moles of gas

3) Change in Termperature

It does not, however, give a measure of true protein content, as it measures non-protein nitrogen in addition to the nitrogen in proteins.

Rotational and Vibrational

For the spontaneous Raman effect, the molecule will be excited from the ground state to a virtual energy state, and relax into a vibrational excited state. Two series of lines exist around this central vibrational transition. They correspond to the complimentary rotational transition. Anti-Stokes lines correspond to rotational relaxation whereas Stokes lines correspond to rotational excitation.
