In a closed system, a reaction occurs between two gases, A and B, according to the following balanced equation: 2A(g) + 3B(g) ⇌ C(g) + 2D(g) The reaction is initially at equilibrium. If the pressure of gas A is increased while keeping the temperature and the pressure of gas B constant, what will be the effect on the equilibrium position of the reaction? Justify your answe.

Question:

In a closed system, a reaction occurs between two gases, A and B, according to the following balanced equation:

 

2A(g) + 3B(g) ⇌ C(g) + 2D(g)

 

The reaction is initially at equilibrium. If the pressure of gas A is increased while keeping the temperature and the pressure of gas B constant, what will be the effect on the equilibrium position of the reaction? Justify your answe.
