The oxidation of SO 2 to SO 3 is an exothermic reaction. The yield of SO 3 will be maximum if:
Options
- ATemperature is increased and pressure is kept constant
- BTemperature is reduced and pressure is increased
- CBoth temperature and pressure are increased
- DBoth temperature and pressure are reduced
Correct answer
B. Temperature is reduced and pressure is increased
Step-by-step solution
SO 2 + 1 2 O 2 ⇌ SO 3 ; Δ H = - ve ; Apply Le Chatelier principle.
