When $NaNO_{3(s)}$ is heated in a closed vessel,$O_{2(g)}$ is released and $NaNO_{2(s)}$ remains. The equilibrium is: $NaNO_{3(s)} \rightleftharpoons NaNO_{2(s)} + 1/2 O_{2(g)}$. Which of the following is correct?

  • A
    Addition of $NaNO_3$ shifts the reaction in the forward direction.
  • B
    Addition of $NaNO_2$ shifts the reaction in the backward direction.
  • C
    Increase in pressure shifts the reaction in the backward direction.
  • D
    Decrease in temperature shifts the reaction in the forward direction.
