For the system 2 SO2 (g) ) O2 (g) AH is negative for the production of SO3 gas. Assume that one has an equilibrium, a mixture of these substances. Predict the effect of each of the following changes in the value of the equilibrium constant and on the number of moles of SO3 present in the mixture at equilibrium. Briefly account for each of your predictions (assume that in each case, all the other factors remain constant). → 2 SO3 (g), a - decreasing the volume of the system, c - adding oxygen to the equilibrium mixture. c - raising the temperature of the system d - adding a catalyst to the system e - using the concepts of entropy and entropy as the driving force of chemical reactions. Predict whether you would expect this reaction to be spontaneous or not and mention any conditions that might affect your answer.
