Physical and chemical equilibrium can respond to a change in their pressure, temperature, and concentration of reactants and products. To describe the change in the equilibrium we have a principle named Le Chatelier principle. According to this principle, even if we make some changes in equilibrium, then also the system even re-establishes the equilibrium by undoing the effect.
Consider the following equilibrium:
`2NO_(2) hArr 2NO_(3), DeltaH=-ve`,
If `O_(2)` is added and volume of the reaction vessel is reduced, the equilibrium
