Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A gas mixture in equilibrium has a total pressure of 5 atm. After adding an inert gas, the total pressure rises to 10 atm. What happens to the partial pressures of the original gases?
💡 Hint: Recall the principles of Dalton's law.
In an experiment, a reaction at equilibrium reaches a point where the concentrations of reactants and products are measured. If an inert gas is added to the mixture, describe how the reaction would respond, if at all.
💡 Hint: Consider what factors actually change the equilibrium state.
