Ageneric gas, x, is placed in a sealed glass jar and decomposes to form gaseous y and solid z. 2x(g)↽−−⇀y(g)+z(s) how are these equilibrium quantities affected by the initial amount of x(g) placed in the container? assume constant temperature.

the equilibrium will be displaced to the right leading an increase on the quantities of y(g) and z(s).

Justification:

According to the rules of equilibrium, based on Le Chatellier's priciple, any change in a system in equilibrium will be tried to be compensated to restablish the equilibrium

The higher the amount, and so the concentration, of X(g), the more will the forward reaction proceed leading to an increase on the concentration of the products y(g) and z (s). Look that that will also be accompanied by a decreasing on the pressure, since 2 molecules of the gas X(g) are converted into 1 molecule of the gas y(g).
