The reaction $2 \mathrm{SO}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{O}_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3(g)}+$ Heat,

Question

The reaction $2 \mathrm{SO}_{2(g)}+\mathrm{O}_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3(g)}+$ Heat, will be favoured by

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : Since, reaction is exothermic it is favoured at low temperature. There is a decrease in number of moles hence reaction is favoured at high pressure.
