A equilibrium mixture contains 1.0 M of H2(g), 0.5 M of I2(g), and 1.5 M of HI(g) at constant temperature. If the volume is decreased, explain how the system will respond.
💡 Hint: Count the total moles of gas on each side.
For the reaction: aA(g) + bB(g) ⇌ cC(g) + dD(g), where a + b > c + d, how would increasing the pressure affect the equilibrium?
💡 Hint: Think about counting the total gas moles and how pressure affects them.
