Changing pressure can affect what?
Reversible reactions involving gases at equilibrium
1 of 7
If the pressure is increased, the position of equilibrium will...
Shift to try and reduce the pressure
2 of 7
If the forward reaction produces more molecules of gas...
An INCREASE in PRESSURE will DECREASE the amount of products formed
3 of 7
If the forward reaction produces more molecules of gas...
A DECREASE in PRESSURE will INCREASE the amount of products formed
4 of 7
If the forward reaction produces fewer molecules of gas...
An INCREASE in PRESSURE will INCREASE the amount of products formed
5 of 7
If the forward reaction produces fewer molecules of gas...
A DECREASE in PRESSURE will DECREASE the amount of products formed
6 of 7
For example in 2NO2 <---> N204, there are more gaseous REACTANT molecules than gaseous PRODUCT molecules
Therefore, INCREASING the pressure will INCREASE the amount of ammonia
