Effect of increased concentration on equilibrium

[NatBrown1I]

If you have already established equilibrium what will happen when you increase the concentration of the reactants?

[Sara Lakamsani 4D]

More product will be produced until equilibrium of concentrations is restored.

[Angela Grant 1D]

In addition to more products getting produced, the concentration of any other reactants in the reaction would decrease.

Hope this helped!

[Jacqueline Duong 1H]

the system will favor the forward reaction and produce more products

[Matthew Casillas 1C]

The same would also go if you increased the concentration of products, the system will favor the opposite direction, the backwards reaction.

[MichaelMoreno2G]

What about if the reaction is not at equilibrium? How increasing the concentration affect the equilibrium?

[Mikka Hoffman 1C]

The reactions will form products to restore equilibrium

[Roberto Gonzalez 1L]

The reaction would compensate by forming more products and therefore shift to the right.

Think of Le Chatelier's Principle. If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.
