Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the reaction A(g) + B(g) ⇌ C(g) + D(g), if the volume is increased, what will happen to the equilibrium?
  • Step 1: Understand that the reaction involves gases A, B, C, and D.
  • Step 2: Recognize that increasing the volume of the container means there is more space for the gases.
  • Step 3: Know that when the volume increases, the pressure inside the container decreases.
  • Step 4: Remember Le Chatelier's principle, which states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract the disturbance.
  • Step 5: Identify the number of moles of gas on each side of the reaction: A + B (2 moles) and C + D (2 moles).
  • Step 6: Since both sides have the same number of moles of gas (2 moles), the equilibrium will not shift to either side.
