Effect of Concentration Change on Equilibrium

Easy General Chemistry Chemical Equilibrium

In a chemical reaction at equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. Consider the following reversible reaction:

A + B <=> C + D

At equilibrium, if the concentration of A is decreased, according to Le Chatelier's principle, which of the following statements is true?

The reaction will shift to the right, producing more C and D.

The reaction will shift to the left, producing more A and B.

The concentrations of A, B, C, and D will all decrease.

The equilibrium constant will change to favor products.
