Given: When the concentration of  I 2 (Iodine 2) is increased to 1.5 M, the ratio of products to reactants is 28. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 83. Does it regain equilibrium toward the product or the reactant.

Equilibrium constant = concentration of products / concentration of reactants
Since the increase in concentration caused the ratio to decrease, that means that adding more iodine increased the concentration of reactants, because increasing the denominator of a fraction makes the overall number smaller. If you increase the concentration of reactant, the equilibrium will shift toward the products. Therefore, the reaction regains equilibrium by shifting toward the product.
