Which consequence results when increased pressure shifts equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

Le Chatelier's principle states that increased pressure favors fewer gas molecules; therefore the equilibrium shifts toward lower-moles gas products to relieve the stress, rather than forming more products or affecting only the reaction rate.
