A closed system reactor initially contains two moles of SO 2 and two moles of O2 ,

Question:

A closed system reactor initially contains two moles of SO₂ and two moles of O2 , and the following reaction is carried out until it reaches equilibrium:

2SO₂ (g) + O₂ (g) ↔ 2SO₃ (g)

A. For a constant reaction pressure of 1 bar, plot the final number of moles of SO₃ as a function of temperature over the range 300 to 1000 K using the shortcut van ’t Hoff equation.

B. Repeat part A for pressures of 2, 5, 10, and 25 bar. Assume the system is an ideal mixture of real gases.
