Question
- A. It will shift towards the products
- B. It will shift towards the reactants
- C. It will remain unchanged
- D. It will shift to the left
Answer
It will shift towards the products
Explanation
The correct answer is It will shift towards the products. This answer directly addresses the question: If the concentration of a product in a reversible reaction is decreased, what will happen to the position of equilibrium? It matches the approved Chemistry 8462 learning objective and the linked subtopic. The other options are incorrect because they either change the rate, catalyst, reversible reaction, equilibrium, or graph context, or they do not answer the exact point being tested.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Equilibrium Shift
Students often predict that decreasing product concentration shifts equilibrium towards reactants instead of products.
Remember that decreasing product concentration will shift the equilibrium towards the side that produces more products to counteract the change.
