Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For the reaction A(g) + 2B(g) ⇌ C(g), where 3 moles of gas turn into 1 mole, describe the effect on equilibrium when pressure is increased. What strategy should industries use?
💡 Hint: Remember how mole numbers influence equilibrium shifts.
Consider the reaction P(g) + 4Q(g) ⇌ 2R(g). If the volume is increased, what effect does it have on the equilibrium? Justify your reasoning based on mole count.
💡 Hint: Compare the number of moles on both sides to decide.
