Consider the following equilibrium at 1000K: 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ↔ 2SO3 (g) A study of this system reveals that there are 3.0E-3 moles of sulfur dioxide gas, and 4.6E-3 moles of oxygen gas present in a 15.0L flask at equilibrium. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 3.5E-3. Calculate the number of moles of SO3(g) in the flask at equilibrium.
