QUESTION:
What is the effect of decreasing the pressure of a reaction mixture at equilibrium if the product side has fewer moles of gas particles than the reactant side?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Effect of pressure on equilibrium:
The equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction having fewer moles on increasing pressure. On the other hand, if there is a decrease in pressure, it will always change towards a higher number of moles.
