Question

If the pressure on the equilibrium system 2CO(g) + O2(g) 2CO2(g) is increased, the quantity of CO2(g) remains the same?

Answer 1

\[2CO_{(g)} + O_2._{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2CO_2._{(g)}\]

Answer 2

is it true it remain the same?

Answer 3

For equilibrium reactions with pressures, I've always use this
\[P=\frac{1}{V}\]
When pressure increased, the volume goes down, so, we'll have to shift towards the side that has less moles.

It seems that LHS has 3 moles and RHS has 2 moles, therefore, the reaction shifts to the right.

And so, CO2 increases

Answer 4

thanks.
