JEE Main2003ChemistryChemical EquilibriumActual
Consider the reaction equilibrium 2 SO ₂( ~g )+ O ₂( ~g ) 2 SO ₃( ~g ) ; H ^0=-198 ~kJ . On the basis of Le Chatelier's principle, the condition favourable for the forward reaction is
Options
- Aincreasing temperature as well as pressure
- Blowering the temperature and increasing the pressure
- Cany value of temperature and pressure
- Dlowering of temperature as well as pressure
Correct answer
B. lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure
Step-by-step solution
Due to exothermicity of reaction low or optimum temperature will be required. Since 3 moles are changing to 2 moles. High pressure will be required.
