Change pressure to equilibruim system
Accepted Answer
Changing pressure on an equilibrium system will shift the equilibrium position in the direction that counteracts the change. For example, if the pressure on a gas-liquid equilibrium system is increased, the equilibrium will shift towards the liquid phase because the increased pressure favors the formation of the condensed phase. Similarly, if the pressure on a solid-gas equilibrium system is decreased, the equilibrium will shift towards the gas phase because the decreased pressure favors the formation of the less condensed phase.
