Which effect arises when product concentration increases drastically during reversible esterification?

A)Equilibrium shift to reactants favored✓
B)Increased reaction rate toward products
C)Decreased activation energy barrier
D)Catalyst deactivation by product inhibition

💡 Explanation

An increase in ester product drives the reaction backward towards the reactants according to Le Chatelier's principle, because the system shifts to relieve accumulated product concentration, therefore favoring reactant regeneration, rather than forward reaction progression under these shifted equilibrium conditions.
