Increasing the volume of the system below causes the reaction to shift towards the right.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, if the volume of a system is increased, the reaction will shift towards the direction that produces fewer moles of gas in order to maintain a constant pressure. Therefore, if the reaction has the same number of moles of gas on both sides, the volume change will not affect the equilibrium position.
