Two separate gas-phase equilibria are set up in closed containers. In container 1, . In container 2, . Both systems are allowed to reach dynamic equilibrium at the same temperature.
Compare the two equilibria in terms of:
(a) the expression for the equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressures, , for each reaction, using the terms partial pressure and mole fraction;
(b) the effect on the position of equilibrium of an increase in pressure;
(c) the effect on the value of of adding a catalyst.
