According to Le Chatelier’s principle, a change in pressure affects the chemical equilibrium of the reaction system under what condition?

Pressure changes affect equilibrium when gases are present, because gases are compressible and changing pressure changes their concentrations. The equilibrium shifts toward the side with fewer gas particles when pressure increases. Therefore, the correct choice is “Some of the reactants or the products are in the gaseous phase.”
