Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When you decrease reactants in a chemical reaction the products will ____
A
Increase
B
Decrease
C
Stay consistent
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, reaction rates decrease with time because reactant concentrations decrease as reactants are converted to products. Reaction rates generally increase when reactant concentrations are increased.

Detailed explanation-2: -When additional reactant is added, the equilibrium shifts to reduce this stress: it makes more product. When additional product is added, the equilibrium shifts to reactants to reduce the stress.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the forward reaction is favored, the concentrations of products increase, while the concentrations of reactants decrease. When the reverse reaction is favored, the concentrations of the products decrease, while the concentrations of reactants increase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decreasing the volume leads to an increase in pressure which will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the side with fewer moles. In this example there are 3 moles on the reactant side and 2 moles on the product side, so the new equilibrium will shift towards the products (to the right).
