Question
Consider the reaction equilibrium 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇋ 2SO3 (g); ᐃHo = - 198 kJ. On the basis of Le Chatelier′s principle, the condition favourable for the forward reaction is
Options
A.increasing temperature as well as pressure
B.lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure
C.any value of temperature and pressure
D.lowering of temperature as well as pressure
Solution
Due to exothermicity of reaction low or optimum temperature will be required. Since 3 moles are changing to 2 moles.
∴ High pressure will be required.
∴ High pressure will be required.
