Does the number of moles of reaction products increase, decrease or remain same when each of the given equilibria is subjected to a decrease in pressure by increasing the volume? PCl₅ (g) ⇆ PCl₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g)

The number of moles in this reaction always the products will be increased.
This is obtained based on the Le Chateliers principle, in any chemical reaction if the pressure is decreased, then the equilibrium states of the reaction will shift to the direction in which, the quantity of the moles for all the gases will be more.
So the reaction will be in the forward direction.
