will someone please explain why the following statement is true? thanks!
"If one starts with higher concentrations of reactants, the equilibrium concentrations of the products will be larger."

Since the equilibrium constant K stays the same for the same reaction under the same condition, if the initial concentration for reactants is higher, meaning having more reactants, then since the ratio of reactants and products stays the same (K), there will be a higher concentration of products at equilibrium, meaning more products.
