Which statement best explains what would happen if a reactant were added to a system in equilibrium?(1 point)

Question

The system would shift toward the products to oppose the change.
The system would shift toward the products to enhance the change.
The system would shift toward the reactants to oppose the change.
The system would shift toward the reactants to enhance the change.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: The system would shift toward the products to oppose the change.

When a reactant is added to a system at equilibrium, according to Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to counteract the change (in this case, the increase in the concentration of reactants) by producing more products.
