Expert Solution
Step 1

If an additional amount of any reactant or product is added to the system the stress is relieved as the reaction that consume the added substance occurs more rapidly then its reverse reaction. that is if any of the reactant is added,  the rate of forward reaction increases and if any of the product is added the rate of backward reaction is increases          In general in a chemical equilibrium, increasing the concentration of the reactants result in shifting the equilibrium in favour of product while increasing concentration of the product result in shifting the equilibrium in favour of reactants
