Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Reactions (Section 4 - No. 48)

For the reaction: 2NO₂(g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g), how would increasing the pressure affect the equilibrium?
The equilibrium shifts to the left.
The equilibrium shifts to the right.
The equilibrium is unaffected.
The reaction rate increases.

Explanation

Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas, in this case, the product side.
