Le Chatlier’s Principle

[poll id=”43″]

ANSWER: C – Decrease the pressure

Decreasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium towards the side with more moles of gas. The left side has 4 moles of gas whereas the products has 2 moles of gas, thus the equilibrium will shift to the left. Adding an inert gas will not effect the equilibrium. The other options will shift the equilibrium to the right.
