The correct Answer is:
To determine which conditions favor the reverse reaction in a chemical equilibrium, we can apply Le Chatelier's principle. Let's analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - Consider a reversible reaction: \[ A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D \] - In this reaction, \(A\) and \(B\) are the reactants, while \(C\) and \(D\) are the products. 2. **Le Chatelier's Principle**: - This principle states that if an external change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust itself to counteract that change and restore a new equilibrium. 3. **Increasing Concentration of Products**: - If we increase the concentration of products \(C\) and \(D\), the system will respond by favoring the reverse reaction to reduce the concentration of these products. - Therefore, increasing the concentration of one or more of the products will shift the equilibrium to the left (toward the reactants). 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Increasing the concentration of reactants \(A\) and \(B\) will favor the forward reaction, not the reverse. - **Option B**: Removing one or more products will also favor the forward reaction, as it reduces the concentration of products. - **Option C**: Increasing the concentration of one or more products \(C\) or \(D\) will favor the reverse reaction. This is the correct answer. - **Option D**: Increasing the pressure affects the reaction direction depending on the number of gaseous moles involved, and cannot be generalized to favor the reverse reaction. 5. **Conclusion**: - The condition that favors the reverse reaction is **Option C**: Increasing the concentration of one or more of the products. ### Final Answer: **Option C**: Increasing the concentration of one or more of the products.
