how could we cause the equilibrium to shift to the left? CH4(g) + 2H2S(g) => CS2(g) + 4 H2(g) K = 2.5 x 10-3
The condition written below is in accordance with Lechateliers principle
Effect of Concentration- Increase in concentration of any of the product shift in a direction where it can consume it i.e- favor backward reaction (towards left)
Effect of pressure- In the given equilibrium, (mole)product = 5 > (mole)reactant = 3
When pressure increases volume decreases and equilibrium shifts in a direction where there is less number of moles. Since here moles of reactant is less, increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium to left.
