Reversible reactions and equilibrium — practice question

When the reaction between hydrogen and iodine has reached equilibrium at $400^\circ\text{C}$, the reaction is exothermic. $\text{H}_2(g) + \text{I}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{HI}(g) \qquad \Delta H = -13\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$ Which change in conditions would increase the percentage of hydrogen iodide in the equilibrium mixture?

  • Aa decrease in pressure
  • Ba decrease in temperature
  • Can increase in pressure
  • Dan increase in temperature
