NEET Chemistry Le Chatelier's Principle Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Increasing the pressure on a gaseous equilibrium system will favor the formation of fewer moles of gas.
Reason (R): Le Chatelier's principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure by decreasing volume causes the equilibrium to shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas to counteract the change.
