P Dependence of Reaction Progress
       
 

How does pressure affect the extent of reaction?

The pressure dependence of the equilibrium concentrations is a specific effect that is distinct from the pressure dependence of the free energy. Actually, we do not consider the pressure dependence of the free energy in this course. But, the pressure dependence of gas phase reactants and products is crucal to consider since the ttoal pressure can have a large effect on the extent of reaction as described in the following fvideo.
