Q. In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation? $C(s) + H_{2}O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + H_{2}O(g)$
A) Shift in the reverse direction
B) Shift in the forward direction
C) Increase in the yield of hydrogen
D) No effect
Explanation
(a)
By Le-Chatelier principle
$n_{p} > n_{r}$ (gaseous)
So, reaction shift in the backward direction
