Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will adding CO 2 have on the system? CO 2 (g) + C(graphite) ⇌ 2CO(g)

Adding CO 2 will increase the concentration of a reactant, causing the system to shift towards the products to re-establish equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle.
