Per NCERT §6.8.2, for the equilibrium CO(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇌ CH₄(g) + H₂O(g), an INCREASE in pressure (decrease in volume) shifts the equilibrium in which direction?
AForward
BReverse
CDepends on T only
DNo shift
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Forward
NCERT §6.8.2: pressure ↑ favours the side with fewer gas moles. Here 4 → 2, so forward is favoured.
