Question 1 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, what happens when the concentration of a product is reduced in a chemical reaction that was in equilibrium?

Answer
T
The equilibrium shifts to the right to favor the formation of products.
T
The equilibrium shifts to the left to favor the formation of reactants.
T
The equilibrium shifts in the exothermic direction.
T
The equilibrium shifts in the endothermic direction.

Explanation

When a product is removed, its concentration decreases. By Le Chatelier’s principle, the equilibrium shifts to oppose that change by producing more product, so it shifts to the right. The correct choice is “The equilibrium shifts to the right to favor the formation of products.”
