Chapter 10, Problem 80E

Consider the following reaction at 298 K:
${\text{2SO}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g{\text{)+O}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g\text{)}\to {\text{2SO}}_{\text{3}}\text{(}g\text{)}$
a. equilibrium mixture contains ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g{\text{) and SO}}_{\text{3}}\text{(g)}$ atpartial pressures of 0.50 atm and 2.0 atm, respectively.Using data from Appendix 4, determine the equilibriumpartial pressure of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ in the mixture. Will this reactionbe most favored at a high or a low temperature, assumingstandard conditions?
