Definition of partial pressure
the pressure that the gas would exert if it occupied the total volume of the mixture.
definition of dynamic equillibria
the rate of forward reaction and backward reaction are equal and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant
definition of homogenous system
states of matter of both reactants and products are all the same.

when there is a disturbance to the equilibrium, the system will shift the equilibrium in order to counteract the change.
