Question

Match the effects on the concentration if SO2 gas when the following changes occur after initial equilibrium has been established in this system:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) — 2SO3(g) + 46.8 kcal

(increase, decrease, no change)

Pressure increases
Increase [O2]
Increase the volume of chamber
Adding a catalyst
raising the temperature

Answer 1

The effects on the concentration of SO3 gas when the following changes occur after initial equilibrium has been established in this system (N.C. = no change) by adding a catalyst.

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g) + 46.8 kcal

So that even though there is an addition of catalyst, no change in reactants or products has occurred because catalyst only provides a faster pathway for the reaction to occur.
