Increaseing the pressure of a system will have what effect on the equilibrium of this reversable reaction 3H2 + N2 <---> 2NH3

Increaseing the pressure will cause the equilibrium to move to the right of the reaction, producing more products than reactants. This is because there is fewer gasseous moles on the right (2 moles) than the left (4 moles), and the reaction always moves to counter the change in conditions.
