Question

For the reaction

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ----> 2SO3(g)

delta H° = -198 kJ and delta S° = -188 J/K

The equilibrium constant, K, would be greater than 1 at temperatures _______(above/below) __________ Kelvin.

Select above or below in the first line and enter the temperature in the second line. Assume that delta H° and delta S° are constant.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The temperature above or below and the temperature in kelvin has to be written.

Step 2

The chemical reaction is

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ----> 2SO3(g)

Given values:

delta H° = -198 kJ

delta S° = -188 J/K
