Predict the correct statement for the effect of increased pressure on the following reaction equilibrium, 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
On increasing pressure, volume decreases. Hence, the reaction will move in the direction
where there are less number of moles (according to Le-Chatelier's principle).

(2+1) 2 mol
Hence, the reaction will move towards right, to overcome change.
