Nitrosyl chloride decomposes in a reversible reaction.
2NOCl(g)⇌2NO(g)+Cl2(g) \mathrm{2NOCl(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + Cl_{2}(g)} 2NOCl(g)⇌2NO(g)+Cl2(g)The reaction mixture is at equilibrium in a closed container. The pressure is increased while the temperature remains constant.
Explain how increasing the pressure affects the position of equilibrium.
