How Do Pressure Changes Influence Catalytic Reactions with Gaseous Substances?
Pressure changes can significantly influence the rate and equilibrium of catalytic reactions involving gases. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, an increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium of a reaction involving gases towards the side with fewer moles of gas. This principle is particularly important in industrial processes like the Haber Process, where high pressure is used to maximize ammonia production.
