Consider the equilibrium reaction represented by the following equation: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g); ∆H = 395.7 kJmol-1 Which of the following statements about the equilibrium system is correct?

  • A Addition of catalyst changes the equailibrium position
  • B Decrease in pressure increase in temperature SO3
  • C Decrease in pressure increases the equilibrium concentration of O2
  • D Increase in temperatur favours the forward reaction

The correct answer is C. Decrease in pressure increases the equilibrium concentration of O2
