Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The reaction is as follows:

2SO2(g)         +         O2(g)                    2SO3(g).

The initial moles of SO2(g)  = 8.87×10-2 moles=0.0887 moles.

The initial moles of O2(g)  = 7.81×10-2 moles=0.0718 moles.

The volume of the container, (V) = 1 L.

NOTE-The moles and the concentration of the given species will be equal because the volume of the container is 1 L.

Therefore, the given moles of SO3 at equilibrium = 5.19×10-2×1 L=0.0519 moles
