Solution
The correct options are A Amount of N2 gas will increase C Amount of O2 gas will decrease When some amount of HCl is added to equilibrium, the first equilibrium will be shift in backward direction leading to decrease in amount of O2.
Then, the second equilibrium will shift in backward direction to increase the amount of O2. Thus, amount of N2 gas will increase.
