Effect of pressure in a e equilibrium
Physics
ScanSolve AI Answer
Answer
The effect of pressure on a chemical equilibrium depends on the change in the number of moles of gas between the reactants and products.
- If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is greater than the number of moles of gaseous products, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right (towards products) to reduce the pressure.
- If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is less than the number of moles of gaseous products, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left (towards reactants).
- If the number of moles of gaseous reactants is equal to the number of moles of gaseous products, pressure has no effect on the equilibrium position.
