Equilibrium Question 653
Question: Consider the reaction equilibrium, $ 2S{O_{2(g)}} $ + $ {O_{2(g)}} $ ⇌ $ 2S{O_{3(g)}} $ ; $ \Delta H{}^\circ $ = -198kJ. On the basis of Le-chatelier’s principle, the condition favorable for the forward reaction is [AIEEE 2003]
Options:
A) Lowering of temperature as well as pressure
B) Increasing temperature as well as pressure
C) Lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure
D) Any value of temperature and pressure
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
It is an exothermic reaction hence low temperature and increasing pressure will favour forward reaction
