In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation?

\mathrm{C}\left( s \right) + {\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}\left( \mathrm{g} \right)\;\leftrightharpoons\;\mathrm{CO}\left( \mathrm{g} \right) + {\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}\left( \mathrm{g} \right)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Shift in the reverse direction

Option A (Shift in the reverse direction) is correct because increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas, which is the reactant side in this case.
