For H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇌ 2HI(g), how does pressure affect the equilibrium position?

A.No shift — gas moles are equal on both sides
B.Shifts toward HI
C.Shifts toward H₂ and I₂
D.Pressure doubles K

Explanation

Core Concept

Two gas moles react to form two gas moles, so compression changes all concentrations equally and Q stays at K. Only unequal mole counts respond to pressure.

Correct Answer

ANo shift — gas moles are equal on both sides
