Consider the reversible reaction, A+B⇌C+D. If the concentration of product D is increased, the rate of the reverse reaction would .

increase

decrease

be unaffected

If the concentration of product D is increased, the rate of the reverse reaction would increase.

Explanation:

Chemical reaction:

A + B ⇄ C + D

In given condition the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of product.

When the concentration of product D is increased the system will proceed in backward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when the product concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state the reaction will proceed backward direction to regain the equilibrium state.

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
