Increase in Pressure

Postby austin-3b » Wed Jan 13, 2021 7:52 pm

For increases in pressure (decreases in volume), the reaction goes toward the side with less moles. When finding out which side has the least amount of moles, do you also include aqueous solutions or only gases?

This only applies to reactions with gases, so I don't believe there would be any problems involving a change in pressure with aqueous solutions.

I'm pretty sure you only consider moles of gases

Like the others have said, changes in pressure that affect volume only applies to gases since changes in pressure don't have an impact/affect liquids or solids, so aqueous species would also be unaffected since they're not gases, but rather a chemical species that has been dissolved in water. A question that shows this as an example is 5.61 in the textbook. Hope this helps!

Pressure only applies to molecules in the gas phase.

Pressure is a measurement to describe gases, therefore only consider moles of gases

Pressure with a change in volume will always only be applicable to gases. In order to use Le Chatelier's principle that it will balance out pressure, the substances need to be gaseous.

Pressure only applies to gases, especially in the context of volume changing. The volume of aqueous solutions can't change, but the volume of gases can.

Pressure is associated with gasses, and something can only have a concentration if it is dissolved in a solvent.

Increasing pressure (by decreasing volume) only applies to gases because for liquids and solids, changing the pressure does not change the volume. Therefore, you would only consider the moles of gases.

Hi! Pressure is only applicable to gases so that's all you'd consider.

Hi! I believe increasing/decreasing pressure in a reaction system only has an effect on gases.

Hope it helps!

This only applies to gases. Liquid pressure has very little association with volume.

It only applies to gasses so don't worry about in another context. Also, it follows the least moles. One of the crazier ideas is if the moles are the same is that there is no direct change rather it just decrease equally.

Changing the pressure would only affect gases.

In these problems, you don't consider anything in a non-gaseous state because it doesn't affect the gas pressure of the system.

Gases because they are the only ones that have partial pressures. Aqueous, liquids, and solids do not have partial pressures so increasing the system's pressure won't do anything to them or their concentrations.

I believe this would only be for gases rather than aqueous substances. Changing the pressure would only affect the moles of gas.

Changing pressure only affects gases, so you don't include aqueous.

So how do you calculate which side has the greater number of moles?

You don't include aqueous solutions because pressure changes only apply to/change gasses.

You would only need to consider the gases! He mentioned in class that we can't really give enough pressure to change the volume of solids and liquids in this course so we don't consider it!

When looking at changes in pressures in relation to the chemical reaction, you would like at the moles of the gases only.

You would only count gases, and there should not be any questions with this in it if it has other things that are not gases

you should only consider gases for pressure changes.
