← ScienceWhich changes in the reaction will occur when excess reactant continuously removes a product in a reversible esterification?
A)Equilibrium shifts to forward reaction✓
B)Equilibrium constant decreases rapidly
C)Reverse rate exceeds forward reaction
D)Activation energy barrier substantially increases
💡 Explanation
The increased consumption of product favors the forward reaction according to Le Chatelier's principle because it attempts to restore equilibrium; therefore the equilibrium shifts towards the esterification side, rather than decreasing the equilibrium constant.
