Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure of a system at equilibrium will cause the equilibrium to shift in the direction with fewer moles of gas. In this reaction, there are a total of 4 moles of gas on the left side and 4 moles of gas on the right side. Therefore, changing the pressure will not have an effect on the equilibrium position.
