Q1
In a closed system, if the volume is decreased, what will happen to the equilibrium of the reaction 2A(g) + B(g) ⇌ 3C(g)?
Shift to the left
Shift to the right
No change
Depends on temperature
Decreasing the volume increases the pressure, and the equilibrium will shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas, which is the left side.
