A mixture of reactants and products for the reaction shown below is at equilibrium in a 5.0 L container what would most likely happen to the equilibrium if the volume of the container will reduced to 3.0 L?

Answer :

Since the volume decreased, it means that the pressure is going to rise. Thus, the equilibrium of the reaction will shift in the direction that has the least amount of moles.

The statement, that describes the equilibrium "will change in the direction with the minimum moles."

What is an equilibrium?

A condition of equilibrium has become one of balance. Chemical equilibrium is the state in which both the reactants and products are present in concentrations that have no further tendency to change with time, resulting in no observable change in the system's properties.

When volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts to favor the direction that produces fewer moles of gas. When the volume is raised, the equilibrium shifts in favor of the direction that produces the most moles of gas. Because the container's volume will be lowered from 5.0 L to 3.0 L, the pressure will rise. As a result, the equilibrium of the reaction will shift in the direction with the fewest moles. When the volume is reduced, the pressure rises. This demonstrates that a gas's pressure is inversely proportional to its volume.

Hence the correct answer is equilibrium will change in the direction with the minimum moles.
