Question
**Equilibrium System Analysis**

Consider the following chemical system at equilibrium:

\[ \Delta H^\circ = 198 \text{ kJ}, \quad K_c = 2.90 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{ at } 1.15 \times 10^3 \text{ K} \]

\[ 2\text{SO}_3(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{SO}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \]

### Scenario: Volume Increase at Constant Temperature

When the volume of the equilibrium system is suddenly increased, analyze the following aspects:

1. **Value of \( K_c \):**
   - A. Increases
   - B. Decreases
   - C. Remains the same

2. **Value of \( Q_c \) Relative to \( K_c \):**
   - A. Greater than \( K_c \)
   - B. Equal to \( K_c \)
   - C. Less than \( K_c \)

3. **Reaction Direction:**
   - A. Runs in the forward direction to reestablish equilibrium.
   - B. Runs in the reverse direction to reestablish equilibrium.
   - C. Remains the same, it is already at equilibrium.

4. **Number of Moles of \( \text{O}_2 \):**
   - A. Increase
   - B. Decrease
   - C. Remain the same
