Which of the following will favour the reverse reaction in a chemical equilibrium reaction ?
Correct answer: D. Increasing the concentration of one or more of the products
- A. Increasing the concentration of one of the reactants
- B. None of these
- C. Removal of at least one of the products at regular interval
- D. Increasing the concentration of one or more of the products
Explanation
Adding a product increases the reaction quotient, so the equilibrium shifts toward reactants to consume some of that product. Adding reactants or removing products would instead favour the forward reaction.
