Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Le Chatelier's Principle
Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the system will adjust to counteract the change and restore a new equilibrium. This principle helps predict the direction of the shift in equilibrium when a reactant or product concentration is altered.

Le Chatelier's Principle
Equilibrium Constant (K)
The equilibrium constant (K) is a numerical value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a given reaction at a specific temperature. Changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature can affect the value of K, influencing the position of equilibrium.

Reaction Quotient (Q)
The reaction quotient (Q) is a measure of the relative concentrations of products and reactants at any point in time, not just at equilibrium. By comparing Q to K, one can determine the direction in which the reaction will shift to reach equilibrium: if Q < K, the reaction shifts right; if Q > K, it shifts left.
