Here is my question:
Given FeO (s) + CO (g) <---> Fe (s) + CO2 (g); endothermic reaction
If the reaction vessel's pressure is increased, P CO2/ P CO would? (P= pressure)
1. Increase
2. Decrease
3. Remain the same
I originally thought it would increase, but the correct answer is remain the same. Is this because CO2 and CO have a one to one mole ratio? Not sure about the logic on this one.

-
it would remain the same because they are both gases. if you increase the pressure you are increasing the collision of FeO with CO AND the collisions of Fe with CO2
