What occurs if the concentration of a product is decreased?

When the concentration of a product in a reversible reaction is decreased, the system will respond in a way to restore equilibrium. According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a change is made to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust to counteract that change.

In this case, decreasing the concentration of the product will shift the position of equilibrium toward the side of the reaction that produces more of that product. As a result, additional reactants will be converted into products until the system reaches a new state of equilibrium with balanced concentrations of reactants and products. This dynamic adjustment highlights the principle that chemical systems strive to maintain balance in the concentrations of their components.
