The system will rebalance.
High because a higher pressure is the result of decreased volume and when a decreased volume for the equilibrium mixture is involved, the shift is toward the side with the least amount of mols of gas. 3 for reactants and 1 for methanol so towards methanol
The equilibrium will be re-established.
At a dynamic equilibrium, a closed system of chemicals in a reversible reaction have equal rates of its forward reaction and its backward reaction. However, they may not necessarily have equal composition of its reactants and products. This is because the composition of reactants and products is governed by other factors, such as the temperature, the initial concentrations of the reactants and the stoichiometric ratios of reactants and products.Therefore, while the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal, the composition ratios may not have to be. However, it is important to note that the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant at dynamic equilibrium. They may not be at the same concentration, but they will remain constant when an equilibrium is established.I hope this helps! :)
The ratio of product to reactant is dependant on many different things, from the reactants and products themselves to the pressure, temperature and other parameters of the reaction conditions such as the presence of a catalyst. Some reactions are product favoured by nature and at room temperature and 100kPa will always lie at the product side of the equilibrium at STP. Others, like the Haber Process, are reactant favoured and, without manipulation, will produce very little product. To maximise the product it must be made thermodynamically and entropically favourable for it to do so.

A quantity that characterizes the position of equilibrium for a reversible reaction; its magnitude is equal to the mass action expression at equilibrium. K varies with temperature.

A small equilibrium constant value means equilibrium will never establish or the amount of products in reaction mixture is negligible.
The equilibrium will be re-established.
None. A catalyst affects only the rate of reaction, and if the reaction is already at equilibrium, the net rate of the reaction is zero and remains so after a catalyst is added.
Saturated gas temperature is the temperature at which a gas would be in equilibrium with the liquid phase of the gas (or with the liquid phase of a component of the gas if it was a gas mixture).

Changing the temperature will change Keq - apex (Explanation): Keq is closely related to temperature and is part of the equation, so changing temperature will change Keq. Temperature does speed up the reaction sometimes, but that is not the only thing that it can affect.
Two half arrows are usually used to denote a reaction which is in equilibrium. If they are the same length to one another then equilibrium is obtained and you have a mixture of reagent and product. If the arrow pointing right is larger then this denotes that the reaction is predominently a forwards reaction and favours the product and vice versa.
Energy is always conserved in a chemical reaction. If heat of reaction is positive, the mixture gets heated and may require external cooling to continue the reaction in the forward direction. If the reaction is endothermic, i.e. heat of reaction is negative, the mixture gets cooled and may need external supply of heat to maintain the reaction in forward direction. When the reaction is at an equilibrium, the heat of reaction is either zero or the mixture has attained an equilibrium with some definite ratios of the reaction products. The total energy of the system is conserved.
Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. Take this example:2NO2(g) ↔N2O4(g)At this point of the reaction the rate of N2O4 produced from NO2 is the same as the rate of NO2 produced from N2O4. The key aspect to keep in mind is that the amounts (of moles) of products and reactants at equilibrium is not always 50%/50%. It is usually not.Finding the amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction can be found using Q. Q is known as the reaction quotient. Q can be found like so:Q=[products]/[reactants]reaction quotient =concentrations of products (M) / concentrations of reactantsQ is used to find this ratio at a certain point in time during a reaction (not atequlilibrium)Most likely, you will be given Keq, the equilibrium constant, for a reaction. The value tells you the concentrations of products/reactants at equilibrium. Comparing Q and Keqwill tell you whether a reaction is at equilibrium.Not to get off topic, the answer is that equilibrium does not mean that the reaction mixture has 50% reactants and 50% products. Equilibrium means that the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
