Which outcome increases when product is continuously removed from a reversible chemical reaction system at equilibrium?

A)Forward reaction rate increases
B)Reverse reaction rate increases
C)Equilibrium constant decreases
D)Activation energy of forward reaction increases

💡 Explanation

When product is continuously removed, Le Chatelier's principle dictates the system shifts to re-establish equilibrium by favoring the forward reaction because this balances out removal of product increasing the amount of product present. Therefore the forward reaction rate will increase, rather than reverse rate, constant decrease, or activation energy increase, which arise from different system changes.
