Increasing the concentration of reactants will shift the equilibrium towards the products. The equilibrium will always shift to reduce the change you caused. If you add more products, it shifts toward reactants. This is known as the Le Chatelier Principle.
See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more about this.
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
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.
A Reversible reactions is a chemical phenomenon. This happens when in a reaction the reactants transform from the reactants into there products. This is what happens normally in a reaction. However in a reversible reaction the product that has been form goes back into its reactants. Then the newly formed reactants react into there products and the process is repeated. In plain english it means the what you have created returns into its original form. Its much clearer in a equation: A → B represents the transformation of the reactants (A) into the product (B), Once a product is formed its decomposes into its reactants B → A and so on is the process repeated i.e A ←→ B.
According to Le Chatelier's principle, if more of one compound in a reaction at equilibrium is added, the system will shift in the direction that counteracts the change. This typically means it will favor the reaction that consumes the added substance, either producing more products or reducing the concentration of the added compound. As a result, the system will reach a new equilibrium state with adjusted concentrations of the reactants and products.
The concentrations of reactants and products are modified.
The equilibrium shifts to the left when there is an increase in the concentration of reactants or a decrease in the concentration of products. This can also happen when the temperature is decreased in an exothermic reaction.
The reaction would shift to balance the change
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.
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
If the added substance is a reactant, the equilibrium shifts toward products. If it is a product, it moves towards reactants.
All concentrations would change (apex)
Equilibrium is achieved when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products. At equilibrium, chemical reactions continue to take place, but the overall concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
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.
This is known as chemical equilibrium. All of the chemicals will want to become stable and this can only happen with equilibrium.

If a forward and reverse reaction happen at the same rate, the result is called a dynamic equilibrium; the overall chemical composition does not change, even though reactions are constantly taking place.
