Equilibrium Question 846
Question: Consider the reaction equilibrium, $ 2S{O_{2(g)}} $ + $ {O_{2(g)}} $
$ \rightarrow $ $2S{O_{3(g)}} $ ; $ \Delta H{}^\circ $ = ย198kJ. On the basis of Le-Chatelierยs principle, the condition favourable for the forward reaction is
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.
