Which of the following reactions will be affected by increasing the pressure? Also,mention whether the change will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward or backward direction.
$(i)$ $CaCl_{2(s)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$
$(ii)$ $CH_{4(g)} + 2S_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CS_{2(g)} + 2H_{2}S_{(g)}$
$(iii)$ $CO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons C_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)}$
$(iv)$ $2H_{2(g)} + CO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}OH_{(g)}$
$(v)$ $CaCO_{3(s)} \rightleftharpoons CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$
$(vi)$ $4NH_{3(g)} + 5O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 4NO_{(g)} + 6H_{2}O_{(g)}$

(A) In chemical equilibrium,the effect of pressure is observed only if the change in the number of gaseous moles,$\Delta n_g \neq 0$.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium in the direction where the number of gaseous moles decreases.
$Reaction$ $Effect$ $of$ $increasing$ $pressure$
$(i).$ $\Delta n_g = +1$ Backward $direction$
$(ii).$ $\Delta n_g = 0$ No $effect$
$(iii).$ $\Delta n_g = +1$ Backward $direction$
$(iv).$ $\Delta n_g = -2$ Forward $direction$
$(v).$ $\Delta n_g = +1$ Backward $direction$
$(vi).$ $\Delta n_g = +1$ Backward $direction$
