How does the equilibrium change to counter the removal of a in this reaction? a + b ⇌ ab the simultaneously, there’s an increase in the . blank 1: shifts right shifts left is unaffected blank 2: reverse forward exothermic endothermic

Answer : The correct option for blank 1 is, Shifts left.

The correct option for blank 2 is, Reverse.

Explanation :

According to the Le Chatelier's Principle, when the addition of the reactant in reaction system then the equilibrium will shift to the right (forward) direction of the reaction.

Or, if we remove the reactants from the reaction system then the equilibrium will be shifted to the left (backward) direction of the reaction. And simultaneously, there will be increase in the reverse reaction for the attainment of the equilibrium.
