Consider the equation 2A(g)  2B(g) + C(g). At a particular temperature, K = 1.6 × 10 4 .
-Addition of chemical B to an equilibrium mixture of the above will

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding more of a reactant to an equilibrium mixture will shift the equilibrium towards the products. In this case, adding more of chemical B will shift the equilibrium towards the right side of the equation, causing more A to react and form more C. Therefore, [A] will decrease and [C] will increase.
