Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Reactions (Section 3 - No. 26)
Consider the reaction: 2CO(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2CO₂(g). If you increase the pressure, what will happen?
The equilibrium shifts to the left.
The equilibrium shifts to the right.
The equilibrium remains unchanged.
The reaction stops.
Explanation
Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas - in this case, the products.
