According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a product is removed from a reaction, the equilibrium will shift towards the side that produces more of that product. In this case, if Br₂ is removed, the equilibrium will shift to produce more products, which are NO and Br₂. Therefore, more products will be made as Br₂ is removed.
