Consider the following exothermic reaction: 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) <----> 2SO3 (g) Use Le Chatelier's Principle to predict how the equilibrium concentration of SO3 will change. SO2 is added, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged . O2 is removed, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged . If the reaction is cooled, the concentration of SO3 will: increase/decrease/unchanged . If the pressure is increased by decreasing the volume, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged If a catalyst is added, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged
Consider the following exothermic reaction:

Use Le Chatelier's Principle to predict how the equilibrium concentration of SO3 will change.
SO2 is added, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged .
O2 is removed, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged .
If the reaction is cooled, the concentration of SO3 will: increase/decrease/unchanged .
If the pressure is increased by decreasing the volume, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged
If a catalyst is added, the concentration of SO3 will: Increase/decrease/unchanged
