Many manufacturing processes involve chemical reactions that reach equilibrium.
Why would chemists adjust conditions to favor the forward reaction in a process?
to increase the amount of reactants
to increase the amount of product
to reduce the amount of product
1 answer
Chemists would adjust conditions to favor the forward reaction in a process in order to increase the amount of product. By shifting the equilibrium towards the right, more product will be formed, leading to higher yields and improved efficiency in the manufacturing process.
