An increase in pressure would favour the forward reaction

Question

An increase in pressure would favour the forward reaction (A) N 2( g )+ O 2( g ) leftharpoons 2 NO ( g ) (B) 2 SO 2( g )+ O 2( g ) leftharpoons 2 SO 3( g ) (C) PCl 5( g ) leftharpoons PCl 3( g )+ Cl 2( g ) (D) H 2( g )+ I 2( g ) leftharpoons 2 HI ( g )

If pressure is increased, equilibrium shifts in a direction where the number of moles decrease

Q. An increase in pressure would favour the forward reaction

$N_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 NO (g)$

$2 S O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 S O_{3} (g)$

$PC l_{5} (g) ⇌ PC l_{3} (g) + C l_{2} (g)$

$H_{2} (g) + I_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 H I (g)$

Q. An increase in pressure would favour the forward reaction

N2​(g)+O2​(g)⇌2NO(g)

2SO2​(g)+O2​(g)⇌2SO3​(g)

PCl5​(g)⇌PCl3​(g)+Cl2​(g)

H2​(g)+I2​(g)⇌2HI(g)

If pressure is increased, equilibrium shifts in a direction where the number of moles decrease

$N_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 NO (g)$

$2 S O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 S O_{3} (g)$

$PC l_{5} (g) ⇌ PC l_{3} (g) + C l_{2} (g)$

$H_{2} (g) + I_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 H I (g)$
