Question: In the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g), what will happen if the pressure is increased?

Options:

  1. Shifts to the left
  2. Shifts to the right
  3. No effect
  4. Increases the temperature

Correct Answer: Shifts to the right

Solution: 

Increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right, favoring the formation of SO3, as it has fewer moles of gas (2 moles) compared to the reactants (3 moles).

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g), what will happen if the pressure is increased?
  • Step 1: Identify the reaction: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g).
  • Step 2: Count the number of gas moles on each side of the reaction.
  • Step 3: On the left side (reactants), there are 3 moles of gas (2 from SO2 and 1 from O2).
  • Step 4: On the right side (products), there are 2 moles of gas (from SO3).
  • Step 5: Understand that increasing pressure in a reaction favors the side with fewer moles of gas.
  • Step 6: Since the right side has fewer moles (2 moles of SO3), the equilibrium will shift to the right.
  • Step 7: This means more SO3 will be produced when pressure is increased.
