Consider the reaction at equilibrium: 2 NO(g) + 2 H₂(g) = N₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g). If the volume of the closed reaction container is decreased at constant temperature, then in which direction must the reaction shift to get back to a position of equilibrium. Toward N₂ and H₂O Toward the NO and H₂ There is no shift

Given:

2 space NO left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis space plus space 2 space straight H subscript 2 left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis left right double arrow space straight N subscript 2 left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis space plus space 2 space straight H subscript 2 straight O left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis

Towards N2 and H2O
Toward the NO and H2
There is no shift

According to Le Chatlier’s Principle, when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions (such as temperature, pressure, or concentration), the system will adjust itself in a way that opposes the change, aiming to reach a new equilibrium.
