Can you please explain the following:
The addition or removal of a substance in solid or liquid state does not change the concentration of that substance. The reaction of conndensed phases takes place only at an exposed surface- and if the surface exposed is changes it is always exactly the same chnage in available area for both forward and reverse reaction collisions. The forward and reverse rates will change by exactly the same amount if they change at all, so equilibrium is not disturbed and no shift occurs.
