The number of moles of gaseous reactants is 1. The number of
moles of gaseous products is 2.
The reaction proceeds with an increase in the number of moles of
gaseous species. When volume is increased, the pressure decreases.
The equilibrium will shift right. The forward reaction will be
favored. More and more reactants will be converted into products.
This will increase the pressure and will nullify the effect of
increase in the volume. This is in accordance with Le-Chatelier's
principle.
