Which outcome occurs when exceeding the equilibrium constant?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the equilibrium constant, *Q* > *K*, causes a net increase in reactants because the system seeks to re-establish equilibrium via Le Chatelier’s principle. Therefore, molecules undergo the reverse reaction, rather than continuing exclusively forward with product formation, under normal conditions.
