Which outcome results in a gas-phase reactor when pressure increases?

💡 Explanation

When pressure increases, the equilibrium position will shift towards fewer gas molecules, because it reduces the total number of moles, which eases the elevated pressure according to Le Chatelier's principle; therefore equilibrium shifts away rather than rate constants changing independently.
