Question: The two air pollutants SO 3 and NO can react as follows: SO 3 (g) + NO(g) SO 2 (g) + NO 2 (g).

The two air pollutants SO3 and NO can react as follows: SO3(g) + NO(g) → SO2(g) + NO2(g). 

(a) Predict the effect of the following changes to the amount of NO2 when the reaction has come to equilibrium in a stainless steel bulb equipped with entrances for chemicals: (i) the amount of NO is increased; (ii) the SO2 is removed by condensation; (iii) the pressure is tripled by pumping in helium. 

(b) Given that at a certain temperature K = 6.0 * 103, calculate the amount (in moles) of NO that must be added to a 1.00-L vessel containing 0.245 mol SO3(g) to form 0.240 mol SO2(g) at equilibrium.
