HW #6, P13.13 - Effect of Pressure Change on Eeq of Reaction for the Hydrogenation of Acetaldehyde - 10 pts

The following reaction reaches equilibrium at 350oC and 3 bar:




If the system initially contains 1.5 mol H2 for each mole of acetaldehyde, what is the composition of the system at equilibrium ? What would be the effect of reducing the pressure to 1 bar ? Assume ideal gas behavior.
