Chapter 12, Problem 73QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of Q should be determined when equilibrium is reestablished.

1.5 atm, 1.2 atm, 0.80 atm, 0.44 atm and 0.40 atm

Concept introduction:

Pressure is defined as the force exerted by a gas against the walls of container. The pressure is denoted with symbol "P". The common units which are used to measure pressure are atmosphere (atm), pascal (Pa) etc.

The pressure which is exerted by an individual gas in a mixture of gases when it is occupied the similar volume on its own is known as partial pressure.

Le Chatelier’s Principle: It states that when a system is at equilibrium experiences a change in temperature, pressure and concentration then the equilibrium will shift in order to minimize the changes in the chemical system. This principle is used to identify the effect of changes in equilibrium.
