what effect does increasing the pressure have on this equilibrium? hint: which reaction produces fewer gas molecules?

a. the forward reaction is favored.

b. pressure has no effect on gaseous systems.

c. the reverse reaction is favored.

A. The forward reaction is favored.

Explanation: According to Le Chatelier's principle, "When there is an increase in pressure for a system at equilibrium (gases), the reaction which involves a reduction in pressure ( reaction which produced fewer gas molecules) will be favored."
