The answer is A. This is because comparing the number of moles on the reactant to the number of moles in the product side, the volume is the same.

ooh..no.....myschool d question is nt correct....bcuz there is no net reaction...in both A andB....since both there product and reactant av dsame numbers of mole.....pls cross check....

Only option A has the same number of gas molecules on both sides, so changing volume has little or no effect.


✅ Correct answer: A.

d ans is A bcus wen ther is no decrease in vol. The presure increases..and remember from d queston when there is no net reaction...therefore increase in presure always favour d side with small no of moles and in a d moles are equal so d ans is A.

Also an increase I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ volume cause a decrease I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ preSsure which will work since option D,all Α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ not I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ gaseous. Phase
