N\(_2\)O\(_4\),(g) ↔ 2NO\(_2\)(g)
In the endothermic reaction above, more product formation will be favoured by
In the endothermic reaction, an increase in pressure will favour the side with the lesser value of number of moles of the gaseous specie while a decrease in pressure will favour the side with a higher value of number of moles of the gaseous specie.
From the above equation, the product(on the RHS) has a higher value of number of moles of NO\(_2\) i.e 2 moles, when compared to the number of moles of N\(_2\)O\(_4\), on the LHS. i.e 1 mole of N\(_2\)O\(_4\), Therefore, a decrease in pressure will favour more product formation.
