← ScienceWhich outcome results when reactant concentration decreases severely in chemical equilibrium?
A)Equilibrium shifts away from reactants✓
B)Activation energy barrier is significantly lowered
C)Catalyst efficacy reaches a plateau
D)Thermodynamic equilibrium constant quickly increases
💡 Explanation
The equilibrium shifts away from the reactants to restore the equilibrium ratio because Le Chatelier's principle dictates equilibrium adjustments minimize imposed stresses; therefore the system favors product formation rather than kinetic changes since equilibrium constants remain consistent at a given temperature.
