The principle that reversible reactions will be driven from the side of the equation where the concentration is lower to the side where the concentration is higher is known as the law of mass action.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle that reversible reactions will be driven from the side of the equation where the concentration is lower to the side where the concentration is higher is known as Le Chatelier's principle, not the law of mass action. The law of mass action describes how the rates of reactions vary with reactant concentrations, not the direction of the reaction.
