Knowing the number of moles of gas on each side of the equation is important to know in determining how changes in pressure will shift the equilibrium of a reaction. To determine the number on each side, use the coefficients. Choose the 3 correct answers that describe the reaction above.
a
There are 3 moles of gas on the reactant side.
b
There are 3 moles of gas on the product side.
c
There are 2 moles of gas on the reactant side.
d
There are 2 moles of gas on the product side.
e
The number of moles of gas on the reactant side is less than the number of moles of gas on the product side.
f
The number of moles of gas on the reactant side is greater than the number of moles of gas on the product side.
The correct answers are:
a. There are 3 moles of gas on the reactant side.
b. There are 3 moles of gas on the product side.
e. The number of moles of gas on the reactant side is less than the number of moles of gas on the product side.
