Which outcome limits ethene production when reactor pressure increases?

💡 Explanation

Higher pressures shift equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle; Le Chatelier's favors the side with fewer gas molecules. Because ethene production involves generating more moles of gas, therefore, equilibrium shifts against it, rather than favoring it at higher pressures.
