If the pressure in a reaction vessel for the following reaction is increased by decreasing the volume,what will happen to the concentrations of $CO$ and $CO_2$ ?
$H_2O_{(g)} + CO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + CO_{2(g)} + \text{Heat}$

  • A
    Both the $[CO]$ and $[CO_2]$ will decrease
  • B
    Neither the $[CO]$ nor the $[CO_2]$ will change
  • C
    The $[CO]$ will decrease and the $[CO_2]$ will increase
  • D
    Both the $[CO]$ and $[CO_2]$ will increase

Two solids dissociate as follows:
$A_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons B_{(g)} + C_{(g)}$; $K_{p_1} = x \, atm^2$
$D_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons C_{(g)} + E_{(g)}$; $K_{p_2} = y \, atm^2$
The total pressure when both the solids dissociate simultaneously is:
