Question

A system at equilibrium is disturbed by increasing the concentration of the products. What occurs?
Options
A The reaction stops
B The equilibrium shifts to the left
Correct Answer
C The equilibrium shifts to the right
D No change
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract the disturbance. Increasing product concentration will cause the equilibrium to shift to the left, favoring the reverse reaction to consume the excess products.

Hint

The system will try to use up the added products. Which direction will achieve that?
