A company desires to produce nickel from refining nickel oxide and sulfide ores. The first step of the process will produce a nickel carbonyl gas Ni(CO4) by heating the ore. The second step is as follows: Ni(CO4)(g) Ni(s) + 4CO(g)

What effect on the process would be caused by increasing pressure?

There would be no effect on this particular reaction.

Ni would be produced at a lower rate.

Ni would be produced at a higher rate.
