Question

What will most likely happen when a component is removed from 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 system will shift to remove more of what was removed.
D. The equilibrium system will shift to replace some of what was removed.

Answer 1

When a component is removed from a reaction system at equilibrium, the equilibrium system will shift to replace some of what was removed.

Le Catelier's principle

It states that when a reaction is in equilibrium and one of the factors that affect the rate of reactions is applied, the equilibrium will shift to neutralize the effects of the constraint.

Every equilibrium system obeys Catelier's principle.

Thus, removing one of the components in a reaction that is in equilibrium will make the equilibrium shift to create more of the component being removed.
