Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The reaction: N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g) will shift in forward direction by increase in pressure. On increasing the pressure, the equilibrium will shift in forward direction. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Note: When pressure is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction with fewer number of moles of gaseous species. This will decrease the pressure and nullify the effect of increase in pressure.
