Question
- A. It shifts the equilibrium towards the products
- B. It shifts the equilibrium towards the reactants
- C. It has no effect on the equilibrium
- D. It increases the reaction rate
Answer
It shifts the equilibrium towards the products
Explanation
The correct answer is It shifts the equilibrium towards the products. This answer directly addresses the question: What effect does decreasing the concentration of products have on 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 increasing reactant concentration will shift equilibrium towards reactants instead of products.
Remember that increasing reactant concentration shifts equilibrium towards products to counteract the change.
