What will most likely happen when a component is added to a reaction system at equilibrium?

A. The system will be unaffected by stress.
B. The addition of a catalyst will change the equilibrium.
C. The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.
D. The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to increase its concentration.

Answer 1

Answer: C. The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a system that is already in equilibrium, the addition of an extra amount of one of the reactants or one of the products throws the system out of equilibrium. Either the forward or the reverse reaction will then occur to restore equilibrium conditions.

Answer 2

c: The equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.
