2SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2SO3(g)

ΔH = -189 kJ mol-1

The equilibrium constant for the reaction above is increased by?

  • A decreasing the temperature of the system
  • B Increase the pressure of the system
  • C The addition of a catalyst to the system
  • D Increasing the surface area of the vessel

The correct answer is A. decreasing the temperature of the system

Decrease in temperature favors in Equilibrium Constant[k] for this exothermic reaction.
