Question 6
Considering A + 2B ⇌ C + D

decrease the concentration of C


equilibrium constant must not change

- because equilibrium constants are constant at constant


temperature.

Why does the position of equilibrium move as it does?

The position of equilibrium moves - not because Le Chatelier says it must -


but because of the need to keep a constant value for the equilibrium
constant.
Case 1
Consider

Hence,

Recall

What we have now

Cancelling total pressure and hence

Kp has got to stay constant because the temperature is unchanged

To compensate, you would have to increase the terms on the top, χC


and χD, and decrease the terms on the bottom, χA and χB

Case 2
There is not a single Ptot left in the expression
so changing the pressure makes no difference to the Kp expression.
The position of equilibrium doesn't need to move to keep Kp constant.
