Answer: Adding a reactant will shift the reaction towards the products.
Adding a product will shift the reaction towards the reactants.
Removing a reactant will shift the reaction towards the reactants.
Removing a product will shift the reaction towards the products.
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
Adding a reactant will increase the concentration of reactants and hence the reaction will try to undo the increase by shifting the reaction towards the products.
Adding a product will increase the concentration of products and hence the reaction will try to undo the increase by shifting the reaction towards the reactants.
Removing a reactant will decrease the concentration of reactants and hence the reaction will try to undo the decrease by shifting the reaction towards the reactants.
Removing a product will decrease the concentration of products and hence the reaction will try to undo the decrease by shifting the reaction towards the products.
Answer:
Adding a reactant - shift towards product
Adding a product - shift towards reactant
Removing a reactant - shift towards reactant
Removing a product- shift towards product
Explanation:
a) Reactant added – When a reactant is added to a chemical reaction which has not yet reached the equilibrium, then the added reactant is partially consumed and the reaction shifts towards the product. However, there is no effect on the K value
b) Adding a product – When a product is added, then it is partially consumed and the reaction shifts towards the reactant. Again, there is no change in K value.
c) Removing a reactant – The reaction will shift towards the reactant
d) Removing a product- The reaction will shift towards the product
