What happens to the equilibrium position if the concentration of a reactant is increased?

A. The equilibrium shifts to the right
B. The equilibrium shifts to the left
C. There is no effect on equilibrium
D. The reaction stops

Answer: The equilibrium shifts to the right

Additional Information: Increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium position to favor the formation of products.
