What about when pressure system is reduced

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

When the pressure of a system at equilibrium is reduced, the equilibrium will shift to the side with the greater number of moles of gas to counteract the change and increase the pressure.

  • If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is greater than the number of moles of gaseous products, reducing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left (towards reactants).
  • If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is less than the number of moles of gaseous products, reducing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right (towards products).
  • If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is equal to the number of moles of gaseous products, reducing the pressure has no effect on the equilibrium position.
