Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will reducing the volume have on the system? C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(1) AH° = -2220 kJ No effect will be observed. The reaction will shift to the right in the direction of products. The equilibrium constant will increase. The reaction will shift to the left in the direction of reactants. The equilibrium constant will decrease.
