According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if pressure is increased, then the equilibrium shifts to the side with the fewer number of moles of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • NaCl + AgNO3<------>NaNO3 + AgCl.
  • In any reaction a temperature increase uplifts the reaction that absorbs heat which is known as the endothermic reaction.
  • The product which absorbs heat, shifts the reaction to the left hand side.
  • This shows that the reverse reaction or backward reaction is endothermic.
  • if the temperature is increased for an endothermic reaction, essentially a reactant is being added, so the equilibrium shifts toward products.
  • Le Chatelier’s principle states that it can be used to predict the behavior of a system due to changes in pressure, temperature, or concentration.
  • If the concentration of reactants is increased the reaction is shifted to the right, while increasing the concentration of products will shift the reaction to the left side.
