Question on: SS3 Chemistry - Chemical Equilibrium
In a reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium, the pressure of the system is increased by decreasing the volume of the container. What will be the effect on the equilibrium position?
The reaction will shift to favour the side with more moles of gas
The reaction will shift to favour the side with fewer moles of gas
The equilibrium position will remain unchanged
The reaction will shift to the side that reduces the pressure
When the pressure of a system at equilibrium is increased by decreasing the volume, Le Chatelier's Principle predicts that the system will shift in the direction that reduces the pressure. This means the reaction will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas since it occupies less volume, thereby reducing the pressure and restoring equilibrium.
