Which outcome occurs in a reversible chemical reactor when continuously removing product species?

💡 Explanation

Removing product decreases its concentration, thus upsetting the equilibrium; Le Chatelier's principle dictates that the equilibrium shifts to favor product formation, because this counteracts the removal of product; therefore, more product forms, rather than just an increase in reverse reaction rate.
