Question

The decomposition reaction of SO2 is given below: SO2 (g) = S (s) + O2 (g) with Kc = 2.0 at a given temperature. If we place 1.00 mole of SO2 (g) in a 1-L bottle initially (without any products), which of the following statements is correct after the reaction is in equilibrium? (Choose one option)

a. The concentration of O2 (g) will become greater than 1.0 M.

b. The concentration of O2 (g) will be greater than the concentration of SO2 (g).

Options:

1. a only

2. b only

3. both a and b are correct.

4. neither a nor b is correct.
