For the reaction: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g), what will happen if the volume of the container is increased? (2020)
Equilibrium shifts to the right
Equilibrium shifts to the left
No change in equilibrium
Equilibrium shifts to the center
Increasing the volume decreases the pressure, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift to the side with more moles of gas, which is the left side in this case.
