Answer:
A) increasing the pressure
Explanation:
Given the exothermic reaction:
2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ↔ 2SO₃(g)
the question asks what will make the number of moles of SO₃(g) to increase.
When an equilibrium is disturbed, the system will shift in order to counteract the change (see <em>Le Chatelier's Principle</em>) So <em>when the pressure is increased in a reaction involving gases, the equilibrium will shift trying to decrease the number of moles </em>(because pressure is produced by molecules hitting the container), that is in this case it will shift towards the right side, towards the production of SO₃, thus increasing the number of moles of SO₃.
The number of moles in the right side is 2 and the number of moles in the left side is 3.
A reaction that produces 14.2 grams of a product and the theoretical yield of that product is 17.1 grams is true for the following statements :
The percent yield of the product is 83.0%
The actual yield of the product is 14.2 grams.
<h3>Percentage Yield:</h3>
Percent yield is the percent ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield.
Mathematically,
percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
actual yield = 14.2 grams
theoretical yield = 17.1 grams
percentage yield = 14.2 / 17.1 × 100%
percentage yield = 83.0409356725 %
percentage yield = 83.0 %
Therefore,
The percent yield of the product is 83.0%
The actual yield of the product is 14.2 grams.
