An equilibrium mixture is prepared in a container of fixed volume.

CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g)ΔH=−91 kJ mol−1 \text{CO}(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(\text{g}) \quad \Delta H = -91 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} CO(g)+2H2​(g)⇌CH3​OH(g)ΔH=−91 kJ mol−1

The temperature of this mixture is decreased and the mixture is allowed to reach a new equilibrium.

Which of the following is greater for the new equilibrium than for the original equilibrium?

The partial pressure of carbon monoxide

The total pressure of the mixture

The amount, in moles, of carbon monoxide

The value of the equilibrium constant, KpK_{\text{p}}Kp​
