Question

Consider the equilibrium:
$$ 	ext{CO(g)} + 3	ext{H}_2	ext{(g)} ightleftharpoons 	ext{CH}_4	ext{(g)} + 	ext{H}_2	ext{O(g)} $$
If the pressure applied over the system increases by two fold at constant temperature then:

**(A)** Concentration of reactants and products increases.

**(B)** Equilibrium will shift in forward direction.

**(C)** Equilibrium constant increases since concentration of products increases.

**(D)** Equilibrium constant remains unchanged as concentration of reactants and products remain same.
