For at equilibrium in a rigid vessel, , and . Then enough is added to make and at the same instant is removed to make ( unchanged). Which statement describes the situation immediately afterwards?

  1. A, which is less than , so the net reaction is backward
  2. B, which is less than , so the net reaction is forward
  3. C, which is greater than , so the net reaction is backward
  4. D, so the system stays at equilibrium

Answer: B

. After the changes, . Since (too much reactant, too little product), the net reaction is forward.
