A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3,0.20 atm SO2,and 0.40 atm O2,and allowed to reach equilibrium.Assume the temperature of the mixture is chosen so that Kp = 0.12.Predict the effect on the partial pressure of SO3 as equilibrium is achieved by using Q,the reaction quotient. 2
SO3(g) ⇌ 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)
A) The partial pressure of SO3 will decrease because Q > K.
B) The partial pressure of SO3 will decrease because Q < K.
C) The partial pressure of SO3 will increase because Q < K.
D) The partial pressure of SO3 will increase because Q > K.
E) The partial pressure of SO3 will remain the same because Q = K.
