Q

How does an increase in temperature affect a concentration?

General TE4 Information

A

The concentration decreases (think of a balloon - applying heat to it makes the balloon larger, so anything inside the balloon will occupy a larger volume and will therefore will be at a lower concentration)

Q

How does an increase in pressure affect a concentration?

General TE4 Information

A

The concentration increases (think of a balloon - applying pressure to it makes the balloon smaller, so anything inside the balloon will occupy a smaller volume and will therefore will be at a higher concentration)
