13PRACTICE PROBLEM
The conversion of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a reversible reaction:
2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 SO3(g)
Identify what will happen to the direction of equilibrium when each of the following changes is applied:
a) More SO3 is added to the reaction mixture.
b) O2 is removed from the reaction mixture.
c) More SO2 is added to the reaction mixture.
d) Neon gas is added to the reaction mixture.
