In this episode, we discuss conditions and equilibrium in a reversible reaction.

Reversible reactions reach a state of equilibrium, where the amounts of reactants and products remain constant. Altering the conditions of such a system will disrupt this balance. 

Le Chatelier's principle explains that the system will respond in a way that opposes the imposed change, attempting to re-establish equilibrium. 

This principle serves as a tool for predicting how a system at equilibrium will shift when subjected to new conditions.

The analogy of falling off and then successfully mounting a horse illustrates the system's tendency to return to a state of balance after a disturbance.
