What will happen to a weak acid dissociation equilibrium if more reactants were added?

Concentration of products would increase in order to attain equilibrium in the system again.
For example:
H2CO3 --> H+ + HCO3-
K= ([H+][žHCO3-])/([H2CO3])
K is constant for this process, so if you increase the concentration of reactants (H2CO3), in order for K to stay the same, concentration of products (H+, HCO3-) would also have to increase.
It's part of Le Chatelier's principle: "If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or partial pressure, then the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change and a new equilibrium is established."
So, in your case, adding more reactant would cause equilibrium to shift to the right (toward products), and therefore, their concentration would increase so that new equilibrium could be established.

The reaction would shift to balance the change

Hat will happen when a reactant is added to a system at equilibrium?
The concentrations of reactants and products are modified.
What happen if more product is added to a system at equilibrium?
more reactants will form
What would happen to a system at equilibrium of more of one compound in a reaction were added?
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
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.
What would happen if n2 were added to n2g plus o2g 2nog at equilibrium?
More No will be produced

What would happen to weak base dissociation equilibrium if more products were added?
The concentration of products would increase. apex
What happen if more product is added to a system at equilibrium?
more reactants will form
what would happen to a system at equilibrium of more one compound on a reaction were added?
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
What would happen to a system at equilibrium of more of one compound in a reaction were added?
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
What direction doe the equilibrium shift when reactants are added to it?
To the right because it would move the opposite way of the reactants.
Which way should the equilibrium shift when Na2SO4 is added to NaHSO4?
the equilibrium will be shifted backward so that the dissociation of NaHSO4 will decrease (less H+)
What happens if more product is added to a system 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.
What does le chetaliers principle predict would happen to a system at equilibrium if more products were added?
Le Chetalier's principle predicts a system at equilibrium will change to adapt. If more products are added, the system will react to tend to negate that change, so more reactants would form.
What happens when more product is added to a system in equilibrium?
More Reactants will form!!
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.
