When a species is added to an equilibrium, which side is favoured?
AThe side with that species
BThe side opposing the addition
CThe side with fewer atoms
DNeither side is favoured
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The side opposing the addition
By Le Chatelier's principle the system works to partly oppose the change, so it consumes the added species.
