MCQ
Increasing the pressure on a gaseous equilibrium shifts the equilibrium towards:
Unit-9 Chemical Equilibrium
A the side with more moles of gas
B the side with fewer moles of gas
C the side with no gas
D neither side, pressure never matters
Explanation

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing pressure favours the side with fewer gas molecules to reduce pressure.
