alleryAdding more of a reactant shifts the reaction in the direction that:
AConserves it
BCondenses it
CContains it
DConsumes it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Consumes it
1. The system acts to relieve the stress placed on it.
2. The concentration stress of an added reactant is relieved by net reaction in the direction that consumes the added substance.
3. So the correct answer is consumes it.
