The reaction 2SO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2SO 3 (g) reaches dynamic equilibrium in
Question:
The reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇋ 2SO3(g) reaches dynamic equilibrium in a closed vessel. The forward reaction is exothermic. The reaction is catalysed by V2O5.
a. Explain the term dynamic equilibrium.
b. What will happen to the position of equilibrium when:
i. Some sulfur trioxide, SO3, is removed from the vessel?
ii The pressure in the vessel is lowered?
iii. More V2O5 is added?
iv. the temperature of the vessel is increased?
c. State Le Chatelier’s principle.
d. Use Le Chatelier’s principle to explain what will happen to the position of equilibrium in the reaction H2(g) + CO2(g) ⇋ H2O(g) + CO(g) when the concentration of hydrogen is increased.
