A student wants to know how changing the volume affects the position of the equilibrium for the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g). If the reaction is initially at equilibrium in a 2 L container at 400 K and then the volume is decreased to 1 L, what will be the new concentrations of each gas at equilibrium? (Assume that the pressure remains constant and that the reaction follows the ideal gas law.)

A sample of nitrogen dioxide is placed in a container at 250°C and 1 atm, where it decomposes according to the following equation: 2NO2(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + O2(g)The initial concentration of NO2 is 0.10 M, and the equilibrium constant (Kc) at this temperature is 4.0 x 10^-3. If the volume of the container is suddenly decreased to one-half of its original volume, causing the pressure to double, what will happen to the amount of NO and O2 present at equilibrium? Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations of NO and O2.

How does an increase in pressure affect the equilibrium position of a reaction? Use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the direction of the reaction at equilibrium when the volume of the system is decreased.
