Concentration

[Clara Cho 2K]

How does increasing the concentration of reactants increase the equilibrium concentration of products?

[Jason Wu 1E]

Because the value of K is constant from the ratio of the concentration of products over reactants. By increasing the equilibrium concentration of reactants, it will then increase the equilibrium concentration of the products in order to drive the reaction forward. This will then decrease the concentration of reactants until the equilibrium constant is reached.

[Joseph Saba]

When you increase the concentration of a reactant, the reaction must shift left in order to balance out the change in the reaction.

[Miriam Villarreal 1J]

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding additional reactant to a system will shift the equilibrium to the right, towards the side of the products because the frequency of successful collisions of that reactant would increase, allowing for an increase in the forward reaction, and thus the generation of the product
