Changes in concentration/pressure

[MarissaSmith1B]

If the pressure of one of the products are changed, why does this cause the concentration of both of the products to increase? Not only the product that is originally changed?

I believe they both have to increase so they can stay equal. I believe he mentioned something like this during lecture. the product and reactions both have to be equal.

Applying Le Chatelier's Principle, it becomes apparent that altering the partial pressure of one of the reactants will cause a change in the partial pressure of the products. When reactant is added (increase in partial pressure), the reaction will no longer be at equilibrium, and more products will be formed to keep K the same. Additionally, if the question is about pressure of the system as a whole, the concentration of the products and reactants will remain the same, as will the equilibrium constant.

Changing the pressure of one product affects the system's equilibrium, causing a shift that increases the concentrations of both products to maintain equilibrium, according to Le Chatelier's principle.
