In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation? C ( s )+ H 2 O ( g ) leftharpoons CO ( g )+ H 2( g )

Question

In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation? C ( s )+ H 2 O ( g ) leftharpoons CO ( g )+ H 2( g ) (A) Shift in the forward direction (B) Shift in the reverse direction (C) Increase in the yield of hydrogen (D) No effect

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.

Q. In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation? C(s)+H2​O(g)⇌CO(g)+H2​(g)

Shift in the forward direction

Shift in the reverse direction

Increase in the yield of hydrogen

No effect
