NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ce009

The equilibrium is established in a closed vessel. If the volume of the vessel is reduced at constant temperature, the amount of

  1. Aincreases, as pressure favours the product
  2. Bdecreases, as pressure favours the reactants
  3. Cincreases, as increases
  4. Dremains unchanged, as

Answer: D

Both sides contain 2 mol of gas, so is unaffected by a change in volume and the equilibrium does not shift. Concentrations rise, but the amount of stays the same.
