Some sulfur trioxide is sealed in a container and allowed to equilibrate at a particular temperature. The reaction is endothermic.

In which direction will the reaction proceed
(a) If more sulfur trioxide is added to the system?
(b) If oxygen is removed from the system?
(c) If the volume of the container is increased?
(d) If the temperature is increased?
(e) If argon is added to the container to increase the total pressure at constant volume?
