Umm...could someone tell me WHY increasing pressure favors the RHS of equation in gases... why it moves equilibrium to right
okay, image the pivot and scale as in physics.. reaction of N2 + H2 as an example..
____ _____
| N2| | |
|H2 | |NH3|
------ | |

Always when a reversible reaction is in equilibrium and you make a change(inc/dec. pressure/temp), it will do what it can to oppose the change.
Temp::Increase the temp. the heat will be used to both for forward as well as the backward reaction. Forward: N2 and H2 combine, backward:heat used to break NH3 to form. This is a state of dynamic equilibrium.
Pressure::Increase the pressure(by adding more N2 and H2), the mixture will act to oppose the change and eliminates these molecules by combining them to form NH3 so the equi. shifts to the right..
