EarlyLife
His mother raised the children by regimen, described by Henry
Louis: "I was accustomed to a very strict discipline: it was
necessary to wake up on time, to prepare for your duties and
lessons, to eat everything on your plate, etc. All my life I
maintained respect for order and law. Order is one of the most
perfect forms of civilization."

Le Chtelier married Genevive Nicolas.

They had seven children, four girls and three boys.
 Education

Le Chtelier
attended the Collge
Rollin in Paris.
At the age of 19,
after only one year
of instruction in
specialized
engineering.
He followed in
his father's
footsteps by
enrolling in
the cole
polytechnique on
25 October 1869
After brilliant
successes in his
technical schooling,
he entered the cole
des Mines in Paris in
1871.
Career
Le Chtelier chose to teach chemistry. In 1887, he was
appointed head of the general chemistry to the preparatory course
of the cole des Mines in Paris.

He tried unsuccessfully to get a position teaching chemistry

at the cole polytechnique in 1884 and again in 1897.

At the Collge de France, Le Chtelier

succeeded Schtzenberger as chair of inorganic chemistry. Later
he taught at the Sorbonne university.
At the Collge de France, Le Chtelier taught:
Phenomena of combustion (1898)
Theory of chemical equilibria, high temperature measurements
and phenomena of dissociation (1898-1899)
Properties of metal alloys (1899-1900)
Iron alloys (1900-1901)
General methods of analytical chemistry (1901-1902)
General laws of analytical chemistry (1901-1902)
General laws of chemical mechanics (1903)
Silica and its compounds (1905-1906)
Some practical applications of the fundamental principles of
chemistry (1906-1907)
Properties of metals and some alloys (1907)
Achievement
In chemistry, Le Chtelier is best known for his work on his
principleofchemicalequilibrium, Le Chtelier's principle and
on varying solubility of salts in an ideal solution. He published
no fewer than thirty papers on these topics between 1884 and
1914. His results on chemical equilibrium were presented in 1885
at the Acadmie des sciences in Paris.

If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change

in concentration, temperature or total pressure, the equilibrium
will shift in order to minimize that change.
Quotes
"I was accustomed to a very strict discipline: it was necessary
to wake up on time, to prepare for your duties and lessons, to eat
everything on your plate, etc. All my life I maintained respect for
order and law. Order is one of the most perfect forms of
civilization.- HENRYLOUISLECHATELIER (1850 1936)

throughout my scientific career I strove without any desire

of the sensational, contenting myself each day with the
conscientious pursuit of the task of the day. In the end I was
amply rewarded- HENRYLOUISLECHATELIER(1850 1936)
