Answer to Question #71336 in General Chemistry for Kelsey

Question

N2+O2=2NO for the reaction at equilibrium, If the volume of the container is decreased, the amount of NO present will?

Answer 1

According to the chemical equation N2+O2=2NO volume of reactants is the same as volume of products. It means that changing of volume or pressure does not influence on the equilibrium. So, if the volume of the container is decreased, the amount of NO will present as well as it was before decreasing of the volume of the container.
