2SO2 (g) + O2 (g)_ 2 SO3 (g) +heat
A) remain unchanged, but the reaction mixture will getcooler
B) shift to the right, towards products
C) shift to the left, towards reactants
D) remain unchanged, but the reaction mixture will getwarmer
E) Pressure has no effect on equilibrium.

Respuesta :

B is the answer for your question

For the given reaction increasing the pressure will cause the equilibrium to shift to the left, towards reactants.

What is equilibrium law?

According to this law on applying extrenal stress on the equilibrium state of any reaction then it will shift to that side where effect of the stress getting low.

Given chemical reaction is:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g) + heat

In the reaction heat is also produced in the forward direction and from the ideal gas equation PV=nRT it is clear that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. So when we increasing the presssure then temperature will also increase as a result of increase in heat. So minimize this effect reaction will shift to the left side.

  • Remain unchanged with cooler and warmer condition is impossible.
  • will not shift to right side as it also increases pressure.

Hence reaction will shift to the left side of the equilibrium.
