Question

By applying Le Châtelier’s principle to a reaction that has come to equilibrium, the reaction can be made to
A. produce more reactants.
B. run to completion.
C. reach a new chemical equilibrium.
D. All of the above
Is the answer D?

Answer 1

Probably I would answer D also; however, although we talk about reactions going to completion(answer B), technically, that is never true. Reactions that proceed so far to the right that they are 99.99% complete falls into "essentially complete" and we call them complete. I think the spirit of the question is for us to assume that to be the same as completion.
