Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing the concentration of one reactant (in this case, adding more oxygen) will shift the reaction towards the direction that uses up that reactant, which is towards the right in this case. Therefore, adding more oxygen will shift the reaction to the right and increase the yield of SO₃.
