With an increase in pressure in gaseous phase chemical reactions, the fractional conversion ______________ when the number of moles decreases?
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain unaffected
- D. Unpredictable from the data
Explanation
For a gas-phase equilibrium reaction producing fewer moles, increasing pressure shifts equilibrium toward the products side. This increases the equilibrium fractional conversion.
