Question: For the reaction: A(g) + B(g) β C(g) + D(g), if the volume of the container is decreased, what will be the effect on the equilibrium? (2023)
Options:
Correct Answer: Shift to the left
Exam Year: 2023
Solution:
Decreasing the volume increases the pressure. According to Le Chatelier\'s principle, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas. If there are more moles of gas on the left side, the equilibrium will shift to the left.
