Question

In the equilibrium 2XY(g) <=> X₂(g) + Y₂(g) , decreasing the volume shifts the equilibrium in which direction?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Left Right No shift Correct Depends on Kc

Explanation

Increasing pressure (decreasing volume) favors the side with fewer moles of gas. Here, 2 mol → 2 mol , so Δ n = 0 , and there is no shift.
