Question

How would the equilibrium change if the temperature were increased in

SO2(g) + NO2(9) = NO(g) + S03(g) + heat?
A. Only the reaction rate would change.
B. The equilibrium constant would decrease.
C. The amount of NO and SO3 would increase.
D. The amount of NO2 and SO2 would increase.

Answer 1

D. The amount of NO2 and SO2 would increase.

Explanation:

This is an exothermic reaction as Heat is among the products. Increasing the temperature would lead to more products in the reaction system. In order for the system to annul this change, more reactants would be formed.

The correct option is;

D. The amount of NO2 and SO2 would increase.
