How does adding oxygen (O2) to this reaction change the equilibrium? 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) A. The equilibrium shifts right t

o produce more SO3 molecules. B. The equilibrium shifts left to produce more O2 molecules. C. The equilibrium shifts right because of decreased collisions between SO2 and O2 molecules. D. The equilibrium shifts left with an increase in SO2 and O2 molecules. E. The equilibrium shifts left because of increased collisions between SO2 and O2 molecules.

The equilibrium law or the Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system encounters a disturbance like a temperature, concentration, or pressure modifications, it will react to restore a new state of equilibrium.  

In the given case, adding reactant, that is, oxygen will shift the reaction in the direction of the product, on the basis of Le Chatelier's principle. Thus, the equilibrium will move toward the product side. So, the correct answer will be option A, that is, the equilibrium shifts right to produce more SO₃ molecules.

Benzaldehyde, C6H5CHO, has a normal boiling point of 179.0 ∘C and a critical point at 422 ∘C and 45.9 atm.
Naya [18.7K]
Ln(P2/P1) = (L/R).(1/T1 - 1/T2) 

<span>with P1 = 1 atm, P2 = 45.9 atm, R = 8.314 J/mol.K, T1 = 452.15 K, T2 = 695.15 K. This gave the latent heat L as 41.2 kJ/mol.K. </span>

<span>Using this value, and calculating the vapour pressure at 120°C = 393.15 K </span>

<span>ln(P2) = (41.2 x 10^3/8.314).(1/452.15 - 1/393.15) </span>

<span>which gives the vapour pressure P2 as 0.1931 atm = 146.7 torr. </span>

stealth61 [152]
I believe that the answer for this question would be option A. 8 HOURS. Based on the given scenario above about a certain radioactive isotope placed near a Geiger counter, the half-life <span>of the isotope 32 hours later would be 8 hours. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. </span>
