The pressure on the equilibrium mixture shown is increased at a constant temperature.
H2(g)+I2(g)⇌2HI(g)\text{H}_2\text{(g)} + \text{I}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{HI(g)}H2(g)+I2(g)⇌2HI(g)
What is the effect on the amount of hydrogen iodide at equilibrium?
It increases, because the gases are held in a smaller volume
It decreases, because there are more molecules on the right
It does not change, because both sides have the same number of molecules
It increases, because the molecules collide more frequently
