Expert Solution
Step 1 : Basics

As you know, to perform any reaction generally we need to provide some energy. This energy is obtained either from heat (as a change in temperature) or can be obtained as a work done (As a change in Pressure and Volume). 

According to Le-Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium shifts when there is a change in T, P or Concentration of given species in the reaction.
