← ScienceWhich 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.
