Le Chatelier's Principle
16. Chemical Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle / Problem 6

The initial and equilibrium state of the endothermic decomposition of P(g) molecules (purple spheres) to Q(g) molecules  (orange spheres) are illustrated in the diagram below. What will happen to the number of P(g) molecules if the pressure of the system is increased by adding an inert gas?

Diagram showing the endothermic decomposition of P(g) to Q(g) under different conditions.
