One step in the manufacture of sulfuric acid is the oxidation of SO2 gas to SO3: 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) 2SO3 (g) ΔH = ‒196 kJ mol–1 This reaction is usually performed at 698 K and 1-2 atmospheres of pressure. 2. Use Le Chatelier’s principle to explain why decreasing the temperature of the reaction vessel to 298 K should theoretically increase the yield of SO3 (g)
a) An important reaction in the manufacture of sulfuric acid is the oxidation of SO2(g) to SO3(g): 2. 2SO2(g) O2(g)SO3(g) dGo, ΔΗο, and ASo values for the reaction are-141 .6kJ/mol,-1984kJ/mol and -187.9J/Kmol, respectively. Evaluate whether or not the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions at 298K, predict the effect of increasing temperature on spontaneity and calculate the value of T at which the reaction becomes nonspontaneous. b) The reaction described in part (a) is too slow at room temperature to...

The equilibrium constant in terms of pressures, Kp, for the reaction of SO2 and O2 to form SO3 is 0.365 at 1.15×103 K: SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g) A sample of SO3 is introduced into an evacuated container at 298 K and allowed to dissociate until its partial pressure reaches an equilibrium value of 0.867 atm. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of SO2 and O2 in the container. PSO2 = PO2 =
