Practice question
Question
For 2A(g) + B(g) <=> 3C(g) , Kp = 9 at 500 K. If PA = 0.5 atm , PB = 0.5 atm , and PC = 1.5 atm at equilibrium, what happens if pressure is doubled?
Explanation
Initial: Q = ((1.5)³/(0.5)² (0.5)) = 27 > Kp = 9 , doubling pressure increases concentrations, Q increases further, shifts left.
