Reverse reaction in a chemical equilibrium is favoured by the________________?

Correct answer: B. Increase in the concentration of one of the products

  • A. Removal of one of the products regularly
  • B. Increase in the concentration of one of the products
  • C. Increase in the concentration of one of the reactants
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Adding a product shifts equilibrium toward the reactants to oppose the concentration increase, so the reverse reaction is favoured. Removing a product has the opposite effect and favours the forward reaction.
