At equilibrium, the amount of product(s) and reactant(s) is constant. Which of the following would increase the amount of product in a reaction?
A. Remove the product from the reaction vessel
B. Add more product to the reaction vessel
C. Increase the temperature of the reaction mixture
D. Increase the pressure of the reaction vessel
A is the correct answer. If the product is removed, there will be less of the reverse reaction occurring. The forward reaction will continue, forming more of the product to replace the quantity removed to re-establish the equilibrium. Adding more of the reactants would have the same effect
A is the correct answer.
