Question

How does adding oxygen (O2) to this reaction change the equilibrium? 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g)

Answer 1

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if the equilibrium of a given reaction is disturbed by external factors like temperature, pressure or concentration, then it will shift in a direction to undo the effects of the change produced.

The given reaction is:-

2SO2 (g) + O2(g)↔ 2SO3(g)

Thus, adding O2 will shift the equilibrium in a direction in which more of it will be consumed i.e. in the forward direction.

Ans A) The equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more SO3 molecules
