According to Le Chatelier's Principle, how does increasing the concentration of a reactant affects the rate of an exothermic, reversible reaction? Shifts the reaction to the right to form more products Shifts the reaction to the left to form more reactants Increases the time to form products since there is more reactants to be used up This has no affect on the reaction
