b.

Rxn Shift Right (Product)

c.

Rxn Shift Left (reactant)

d.

No Change

e.

No right answer

Explanation / Answer

According to Le-Chateier's principle, decreasing the volume will increases the pressure. In order to decrease the increased pressure, the equilibrium will shift to that diection in which the number of moles of gaseous reactants are less.

N2(g) + O2(g)    NO(g); option B) reaction shift right is correct

PCl5(g)   PCl5(g) + Cl2(g); option C) reaction shift left is correct

CO(g) + Cl2(g)     COCl2(g); option B) reaction shift right is correct

CaCO3 (s)      Ca (s) + CO2(g); option C) reaction shift left is correct
