Expert Solution

Step 1

Enthalpy of reaction is that when there is formation of product with release of heat to the surroundings because enthalpy of reactants in that case will be higher than products. Such reactions are also we say exothermic reactions.

Step 2

The reaction mentioned in the question has negative of enthalpy which tells us that it is exothermic reaction, heat is produced during the reaction so according to Le Chatelier’s principle with decreasing temperature equilibrium will be shifted to right hand side and here if we find the expression of K _p then K_p is inversely proportional to P so with decreasing pressure K _p will be high. So, reaction will be shifted to right hand side at low pressure and temperature.
