What is the effect on the equilibrium of increasing the pressure in a reaction where there are more moles of gas on the reactant side than the product side?
Equilibrium shifts to the right.
Equilibrium shifts to the left.
Equilibrium is unchanged.
Reaction stops.

Explanation

Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas, so the equilibrium shifts to the right.
