ANSWER:Solution 68P:
Here, we are going describe the the effect of a volume change on this reaction at equilibrium.
Step 1:
Le Châtelier’s principle states that when a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed by changing the concentration, pressure or temperature, then the system shifts in a direction that minimizes the disturbance.
