Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The direction of the equilibrium on decreasing concentration of ${\text{HNO}}_2$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium is the state where the concentration of the reactant is equal to the concentration of the product. According to Le Chatelier’s Principle, it states that the equilibrium shifts in such a way or a direction that it can reduce the effect of change.
