Question

In effect of pressure on chemical equilibrium, we consider that pressure is increased by decreasing volume. But then, PV must remain constant( as P increases and V decreases). By PV=nRT 'n' should also be constant. Then why is it considered increasing?

Answer 1

Answer:

In other words, if temperature and pressure are constant, the number of particles is proportional to the volume. Another way to keep the pressure constant as the volume increases is to raise the average force that each particle exerts on the surface. This happens when the temperature is increased
