702() +250 (9)
A. The reaction would shift to produce more SO3.
B. The reaction would shift to produce more O2 and SO2-
C. The reaction would produce less O2, SO2, and SO3.
D. The reaction would produce more O2, SO2, and SO3.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. The reaction would shift to produce more O2 and SO2-

Explanation:

This is because the forward reaction is exothermic.

The correct answer is option B. The reaction would shift to produce more O2 and SO2-

How would the equilibrium of the reaction below be affected if the temperature decreased?

A decrease in temperature will cause the equilibrium to shift to favour the exothermic reaction. Therefore the reverse reaction rate will decrease sharply, and then gradually increase until equilibrium is re-established.

When the temperature has increased the equilibrium will shift to the?

If the temperature is increasing, a product is being added to the equilibrium, so the equilibrium shifts to minimize the addition of extra product: it shifts back toward reactants.
