2CO(g) + O2(g) 2CO2(g)
CO2 gas is consumed.

Does addition of noble gas effect partial pressures in gaseous equilibrium system?
Yes. If the pressure is increased, even with a noble gas, the reaction equilibrium will shift to alleviate and lower that increased pressure (if there are more moles of gas on one side of the reaction than the other).
If a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium and you lower the pressure of the system while keeping the temperature constant what happens to the equilibrium of the reaction?
If all the reactants occupy more volume than all of the products, the reverse reaction will be favored. If all the reactants occupy less volume than all of the products, the forward reaction will be favored. If the products and reagents have the same volume, the equilibrium will not change.
What is an area called where the air pressure is lower than the areas around it?
a-plus a low pressure system
What happens to entropy when pressure decreases?
When pressure decreases, entropy increases. Increases in entropy correspond to pressure decreases and other irreversible changes in a system. Entropy determines that thermal energy always flows spontaneously from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature, in the form of heat.
How would you expect the reading on a barometer to change as a storm moves into your area?
Yes. You would expect the pressure to drop. A low pressure system consists of rising warm air that swirl around a center. Because the air is rising, it lowers the air pressure pressed on the ground. Because of this the pressure-sensing barometer will read that the air pressure is lower. Lower pressure means rain because the warm rising air makes clouds. Expect the pressure to drop as a storm is a low pressure system. Note that cyclones/hurricanes have even lower pressure.

What happens when the equilibrium price is lower than the market price?
When the market price is lower than the equilibrium price the price of the product will continue to rise. The price will rise until it equal the equilibrium price.
What happens when the market price is lower than the equilibrium price?
When the market price is lower than the equilibrium price the price of the product will continue to rise. The price will rise until it equal the equilibrium price.
What happens to water if you lower its pressure?
you lower its boiling point.
Types of equilibrium?
In physics there are two common types of equilibrium: static equilibrium and neutral equilibrium. Equilibrium usually is related to potential energy, for a system to be at equilibrium it must maintain the balance between the two types of mechanical energy: potential and kinetic. The first equilibrium: static means that the system is in a relatively low (relatively means that there could be lower energy but the current states is a local minimum), thus small disturbances to the system will be returned to its original equilibrium. The other type of equilibrium is neutral equilibrium, the relative energies of the system is constant, thus disturbances to the system will move the system but it will remain at the same equilibrium value, and the system makes no effort to return to its original state. Please take a look at the graph for a visualization of these 2 types.
Why is a low-pressure system called a low-pressure system?
In a low pressure system, the air pressure, which is the force with which the air presses down, is lower than what it normally is. Hence, it is called a low-pressure system.
What happens air hits an area of lower pressure?
It will fill the area of lower pressure, expanding and slightly cooling until the pressure of the area and it's surrounding are equal.
What happens when air hits an area of lower pressure?
It will fill the area of lower pressure, expanding and slightly cooling until the pressure of the area and it's surrounding are equal.
What is an area called where the air pressure is lower that the areas around it?
a hifh pressure system
How does low pressure affect hurricanes?
A hurricane is an intense low pressure system. The lower the pressure, the stronger the hurricane.
Can you explain why there is no pressure for the equilibrium price to change?
The equilibrium price exists when at that price supply and demand for a product are equal. Apparently at that price level everybody is happy and as long as nothing changes there will be no pressure. If it would arise because of an increase in eithersupply or demand, the price would no longer be an equilibrium price and it would shift to another - higher or lower - level.
