Le Chatelier's principle says that, when a equilibrium is disturbed by adding or removing one or more of the contents, the system will attain a new equilibrium to minimize its effect. So when reactants are added to the system, some of they will react and give products in order to gain the new equilibrium.

What is the effect of adding more water to the following equilibrium reaction?
Equilibrium is pushed to the reactant side
How does reaction quotient predicts the direction of a reaction?
The reaction quotient is the ratio of products to reactants not at equilibrium. If the system is at equilibrium then Q becomes Keq the equilibrium constant. Q = products/reactants If Q < Keq then there are more reactants then products so the system must shift toward the products to achieve equilibrium. If Q > Keq then there are more products than reactants and the system must shift toward the reactants to reach equilibrium.
What happens if more product is added to a system equilibrium?
more reactants will form
What effect does the addition of NaOH have on the concentration of H?
say for example the equilibrium I2(aq)+H2O(l)-----HOI(aq)+I(aq)+H(aq) Think Lechatlier principle... addition of NaOH will cause the H ions to react with the OH ions to cause more water (more reactants) increase in reactants shifts the equilibrium in the FORWARD direction to form MORE H+ to restore the equilibrium
When a reaction is at equilibrium is the equilibrium constant is equal to 1?
need not be..equilibrium constant is just a ratio of relative concentrations of products (multiplication of concentration in case of more than one products) to the concentration of reactants (multiplication of concentrations of reactants in case of more than one reactants)..the equilibrium concentration can be a very small number or can be a very number as well depending upon the relative concentrations of reactants and products..Unity equilibrium constants is just a special case which shows that the concentrations of products and reactants are equal..
What happens when more product is added to a system in equilibrium?
More Reactants will form!!
What happens after you add just reactants to a reversible reaction?
In a reversible reaction, the reactants and products become to a dynamic equilibrium after some time. after gaining this equilibrium, when more reactants are added the equilibrium breaks. So according to the Le Chetelier principle, the reaction will proceed until the equilibrium is gained.
Looking at a free energy diagram for an equilibrium reaction what scenarios will favor the formation of more product?
The concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. The concentration of products is less than the concentration of products at equilibrium
What would happen if NO were added to N2g O2 g 2NO g at equilibrium?
Adding NO to the system at equilibrium would increase the concentration of the NO product. According to Le Chatelier's principle, the system will counteract this change by producing more of the reactants, N2 and O2.
Looking at a free energy diagram for an equilibrium reaction which of the following scenarios will favor the formation of more reactant?
The concentration of reactants is less than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. The concentration of products is greater than the concentration of products at equilibrium.
What happen if more product is added to a system at equilibrium?
more reactants will form
When a reaction is at equilibrium increasing the temperature favors the reaction that what?
First read this to understand equilibrium: if the point of equilibrium moves to the left there will be more reactants than products. If the point of equilibrium moves to the right there will be more products than reactants. Le Chatelier's principle states that whatever you do to the reaction, the reaction will try and reverse the effects. Eg: heat it, and it will try and cool it down. ANSWER: If you increase the concentration of the reactants (left side), according to Le Chatelier's principle the reaction will try and get rid of the extra reactants, so it will decrease the concentration of reactants. This means the position of equilibrium will move to the right, so more products will be formed.
