Look, first you have to understand which side is the reactant and which side is the product.I'm a bit confused...I mean in a question where they say "where does the equilibrium shift to" would I say it shifts to the left cuz it's favored, and so more is produced of the "favored" side? Or would I say it moves to the right?
For example:
2N + 3H2 --> 2NH3
<---
In this equation, the Right side is the product and left side is the reactants.
If we increase the pressure (We have to, for more yield), then the side with less molecules is right side (2 molecules) so it shifts to right side.
Then more product is produced.
