Volume/Pressure Stress via Q vs. K

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Compressing a gas equilibrium raises every concentration, changing Q unless gas moles are equal on both sides, so it shifts toward the side with fewer moles.

Show

Compressing N2 + 3 H2 ⇌ 2 NH3 shifts the mixture toward NH3, the side with fewer gas moles.

Watch for

Equal gas moles on both sides means no shift from a volume change, since Q never moves.
