Effect of changing pressure Flashcards
What does an increase in pressure of the equilibrium mixture lead to?
The equilibrium moving so as to decrease the pressure
Does this by decreasing the number of
molecules
What do fewer moles lead to in terms of pressure?
Lower pressure so equilibrium shifts to the side with the least gas moles
What does a decrease in pressure of the equilibrium mixture lead to?
The equilibrium moving so as to increase the pressure
Does this by increasing the number of molecules
What do more moles lead to in terms of pressure?
Higher pressure so equilibrium shifts to the side with the most gas moles
When increasing volume, what happens to the pressure?
Decreases the pressure
When decreasing volume, what happens to the pressure?
Increase the pressure
