Interpretation Introduction

To find:

For the reactions given below, which of the following equilibria will shift towards the formation of more products if an equilibrium mixture is compressed to half its volume?

a) $2N_{2}O \left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2N_2\left(g\right)+O_2\left(g\right)$

b) $2CO \left(g\right)+O_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2C{O}_2\left(g\right)$

c) $N_2\left(g\right)+O_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2NO\left(g\right)$

d) $2NO \left(g\right)+O_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2N{O}_2\left(g\right)$
