Shifting the position of equilibrium can be used to increase:
Correct answer: C. Yield of reaction
- A. Temperature
- B. Pressure
- C. Yield of reaction
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
Changing the position of equilibrium will cause the yield to increase towards the side that counters the change. For example, if the equilibrium position is changed towards the reactant side, more products will be formed to counter the change.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
