The given equilibrium reaction is,

2 SO_{2} (g) + O_{2}(g)  2 SO_{3} (g) + Energy

The given reaction is exothermic. So, heat energy will be a product. Therefore, decreasing the temperature (heat energy) would lead to the formation of more products as when the amount of energy which is a product is reduced, there is more room for the products to form.

Increasing the pressure would shift the equilibrium towards that side which has least number of moles of the gaseous substance. Hence, here increasing the pressure would lead to the formation of more products by shifting the equilibrium towards the right side.

Decreasing the volume would make the equilibrium shift towards the least number of moles of the gaseous substance. So, here in this equilibrium decreasing the volume would lead to the formation of more products.

Answer:  increase the temperature

Explanation: Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

2SO_2+O_2\leftrightharpoons 2SO_3+energy

This is a type of Exothermic reaction because heat is released in the reaction.

Option A: Increase the temperature

If the temperature is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in temperature occurs. As, this is an exothermic reaction, forward reaction will increase the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction, products will decrease.

Option B: Decrease the volume  and Option C: increase in pressure

If the volume of the container is decreased, the pressure will increase according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the reactant side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction, products will increase.

Option D: Decrease the temperature

If the temperature is decreased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in temperature occurs. As, this is an exothermic reaction, forward reaction will increase the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction, products will increase.

H2SO4 ---> 2H^+ + SO4^2-

Hence n H+ = 9 mols

Mass of H = nM = (9*1) = 9g


Alternately

mass of H2SO4= nM= 4.5*98= 441

Mass of H= mass h2so4 * molar mass of H/molar mass of h2so4
Mass of H= 441 * 2/98 = 9g

At what temperature does 0.019135 moles of Ne in a 878.3 mL container exert a pressure of 0.946 atm?
Reika [66]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Temperature is 529.164 K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given

Number of moles of Ne (n) =  0.019135 moles

Volume (V) = 878.3 mL

Pressure (P) = 0.946 atm

We are required to calculate the temperature;

We can do this using the ideal gas law equation which is;

PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, n is the number of moles, V is the volume, R is the ideal gas constant (0.082057 Latm/mol/K) and T is the temperature.

From the equation;

T=\frac{PV}{nR}

T = \frac{(0.946)(0.8783)}{(0.082057)(0.019135)}

T=529.164 K

Therefore, the temperature will be 529.164 K.
