Which outcome occurs when increased pressure is applied to an equilibrium reaction?

A)Favors side with fewer gas moles
B)Equilibrium constant increases exponentially
C)Reaction rate equally favors all sides
D)Activation energy increases drastically

💡 Explanation

Applying Le Chatelier's principle causes a shift in equilibrium, favoring the side with fewer gas moles due to attempting to relieve the applied stress; therefore, the reaction will proceed to consume gas molecules, rather than increase the equilibrium constant or equally affecting all sides.
