Expert Solution
Step 1

Given equilibrium chemical equation :

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

Le Chatelier's principle: 

According to Le Chatelier's principle, if an equilibrium is subjected to a stress, the equilibrium shifts in such a way as to reduce the stress. 

Thus, if equilibrium is subjected to a change of concentration, the equilibrium shifts in the direction that tends to undo the effect of that change.
