Which statement is not true about Le Chatelier's Principle?
If changes to the conditions of a system are made, the system responds to counteract the change
If the concentration of the product is decreased, more reactants will react until an equilibrium position is reached again
Increasing the pressure will shift the position of the equilibrium to the side with the smaller number of molecules of gas
If temperature is decreased for an exothermic reaction, the relative amount of products made at the equilibrium point decreases
