Question

The reaction, 2 SO3(g) <--> 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) is endothermic. Predict what will happen if the tem­perature is increased.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This reaction is in equilibrium and would hence obey lechatelier's principle. This principle states that whenever a system at equilibrium undergoes a change, it would react in way so as to annul that change.

Since it is an endothermic reaction, increasing the temperature would cause the reaction to shift towards the right.

This means that it favours product formation and more of the product would be formed.
