Increasing pressure on a gaseous equilibrium favors the side with:
A
Fewer moles of gas
B
Equal moles of gas
C
More moles of gas
D
No gas molecules
Correct Answer: Option A — Fewer moles of gas
Explanation:
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing pressure on a gaseous equilibrium system shifts the reaction toward the side with fewer moles of gas, reducing the total number of gas particles to relieve the stress.
