When the pressure of a system at equilibrium is reduced, the equilibrium will shift to the side with the greater number of moles of gas to counteract the change and increase the pressure. If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is greater than the number of moles of gaseous products, reducing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left* (towards reactants). If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is less than the number of moles of gaseous products, reducing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right* (towards products). If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is equal to the number of moles of gaseous products, reducing the pressure has no effect on the equilibrium position. 3 done, 2 left today.
