For the reaction at equilibrium 2SO₃ 2SO₂ + O₂ ($\Delta$Hº_rxn= 198 kJ/mol), if we increase the reaction temperature, the equilibrium will

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, an increase in temperature favors the endothermic reaction. As the forward reaction of the given equilibrium is endothermic (+198 kJ/mol), increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right, i.e., in the forward direction.
