Q. In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation?
$C ( s )+ H _{2} O ( g ) \rightleftharpoons CO ( g )+ H _{2}( g )$

Solution:

Reverse reaction, Le Chatelier's principle. When there is change in number of moles the equilibrium will shift in the direction having smaller number of moles, when the pressure is increased and vice versa.
