Question

How will the change below affect the direction of equilibrium in the following reaction between sulfur and oxygen gas?

2 S(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇌ 2 SO₃(g) ΔH = –189.1 kcal/mol (–791.4 kJ/mol)

Sulfur trioxide (SO₃) produced is continuously collected in a separate container.

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium will shift to the right.

Answer

The equilibrium will shift to the left.

Answer

The equilibrium will not be affected.
