    Explanation:

    Hello!

    When in a chemical reaction the amount of mole of products is greater than the amount of mole of reagents, an increase in pressure is observed upon reaching equilibrium.

    Increases in temperature can also produce an increase in pressure although in some cases an increase in temperature may occur under isobar conditions (constant pressure).
