NEET Chemistry Le Chatelier's Principle MCQ Question
In a reaction where the number of moles of gaseous products is less than the number of moles of gaseous reactants, what is the effect on equilibrium when the pressure is increased by reducing the volume?
Equilibrium shifts towards the products.
Equilibrium shifts towards the reactants.
Equilibrium remains unaffected.
Equilibrium constant decreases.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing pressure by reducing volume shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, thus favoring the formation of products in this scenario.
