When considering Le Châtelier's Principle and the factors that affect chemical equilibrium, which of the following is not true? a. Increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium position to the right. b. Decreasing the volume of a system shifts the equilibrium position to the left. c. Changing the concentration and volume does not always change the equilibrium constant in a reaction. d. Changing the temperature alters both the equilibrium constant and position.

@Somy she will help you :)
i think its b
in Le Chatelier's principle if one factor or more factors that effect the equilibrium is changed then the position of equilibrium shifts in the direction which reduces the change
meaning if u increase mass on one side the equilibrium shifts to the opposite side ( because opposite side now has less mass) if u decrease the mass on one side the equilibrium position shifts in the direction of this change and thats because now the other side has more mass
a. Increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium position to the right. reactant is more in number while product is less that's why YES equilibrium does shift to the right side (product side)
c. Changing the concentration and volume does not always change the equilibrium constant in a reaction. equilibrium constant is as far as i know only effected by temperature that's why YES changing volume or concentration does not change Kc
d. Changing the temperature alters both the equilibrium constant and position. absolutely true because as i already said temperature does have effect on Kc and along with that it effects equilibrium
b. Decreasing the volume of a system shifts the equilibrium position to the left. here if u read carefully u'll understand that its wrong and that's because u r changing the volume of the WHOLE system thus equilibrium is not supposed to be effected
If the volume of a gaseous equilibrium system is reduced (equivalent to an increase in pressure) then the equilibrium position shifts to increase the volume (equivalent to a decrease in pressure but pressure was not referred in question so i go with somy your answer is B
