Question

How does the equilibrium change to counter the removal of A in this reaction? A + B ⇌ AB

Answer 1

For Plato users :

The equilibrium SHIFTS LEFT. Simultaneously, there’s an increase in the REVERSE reaction.

Answer 2

To counter the removal of A the equilibrium change by shifting toward the left

Step-by-step explanation

If the reaction is at equilibrium and we alter the condition a new equilibrium state is created

The removal of A led to the shift of equilibrium toward the left since it led to less molecules in reactant side which favor the backward reaction.( equilibrium shift to the left)
