change in pressure

[Jane Burgan 1C]

I understand why if there are more moles of gas on the left side of a reaction, then the reactions shifts right if pressure is added. But, why does the reaction shift left if pressure is added and there are moles of gas on the right?

[Courtney McHargue 1I]

Because of the same idea, if there are more moles on the right and pressure is added then the reaction will try to balance itself out by favoring the reverse reaction and going back to reactants.

The Process works in both directions depending on the moles of gas on either side.

[Jesse Kuehn 1B]

I find it easier to picture the products as reactants and just flip the equation around so that it reads the opposite way. It is easier for me to see which way the reaction would shift when i do this

[Ahmed Mahmood 4D]

The reaction's direction shifts to balance out any changes made on the system. Accordingly, if there are more moles of products, the reaction will shift to favor the reactants when pressure is added in order to retain a balanced system.
