Question: Using the equation to calculate the equilibrium constant K ( 3 . 1 2 in your book ) and your knowledge of Le Chatelier's Principle

Using the equation to calculate the equilibrium constant K (3.12 in your book) and your knowledge of Le Chatelier's Principle predict what would happen to the reaction (driven forward or reverse) for the following circumstances
The concentration of the reactants are doubled.
The concentration of D is reduced by half.
How do you know the answers in a and b are correct?
G is the driving force behind your answers to a and b above. At K your reaction is at equilibrium, meaning G is 0. Any perturbations to that equilibrium move ????G either negative or positive. To calculate this change we must compare the current perturbation of equilibrium to the reaction at the standard chemical state. What is the chemical standard state?
K=([C]c[D]d[(A)]a[(B)]b)eq
