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

The reaction is exothermic (ΔH°rxn = -198 kJ/mol), which means that an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left to oppose the increase in temperature. Therefore, the reaction will shift to the right, towards the products, to counteract the increase in temperature.
