What is the impact of removing a reactant from an equilibrium mixture?

A. Shifts equilibrium to the left
B. Shifts equilibrium to the right
C. No effect on equilibrium
D. Increases reaction rate

Answer: Shifts equilibrium to the left

Additional Information: Removing a reactant decreases its concentration, causing equilibrium to shift toward reactant formation.
