Consider an endothermic reaction C(s) CO2(g)2CO(g) If such a system at equilibrium is heated and compressed at the same time, what happens to the equilibrium position?
A. It will shift to the left
B. It will shift to the right
C. It will not change
D. There is not enough information to tell

The system will shift to the right if any change stimulate the production of gas -LeChatelier's principle-; in the same way, if a change doesn't favors the production of gas the system will shift to the left producing less gas.

The changes that increasing the pressure of the system, doesn't favors the gas production doing the system shift to the left.

A gas that is heated expands itsellf doing the pressure increases.

In the same way, if you compress the gas, the gas increases its pressure.

Thus, both changes increase pressure of the gas doing the system shift to the left.
