In the reaction below, how would adding more of reactant A affect the equilibrium of the system? (2 points)
A + B ⇄ C + D

a
Shift it to the right toward the products.

b
Shift it to the left toward the reactants.

c
Equally create more products and reactants.

d
It would have no effect.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a . Shift it to the right toward the products.

Explanation:

In the reaction, if more of the reactant A is added to the system, the reaction will shift towards the products.

  • If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changing the concentration of one of the substances, all the concentration will change until a new equilibrium point is reached.
  • If we add more reactants, the concentration is increased and the reaction shifts to the right so as to maintain the constancy of the equilibrium constant.
