For the reversible reaction: , the equilibrium shifts in the forward direction:

  1. A
    by increasing the concentration of .
  2. B
    by decreasing the pressure.
  3. C
    by decreasing the concentrations of and .
  4. D
    by increasing pressure and decreasing temperature.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Using Le Chatelier's Principle:Temperature: The reaction is exothermic. Decreasing temperature shifts equilibrium toward the heat-producing side (forward).Pressure: There are moles of gas on the left and moles on the right. Increasing pressure shifts equilibrium to the side with fewer moles (forward).Concentration: Increasing reactants or removing products shifts equilibrium forward.Thus, increasing pressure and decreasing temperature favor the forward reaction.
