The formation of SO3 in the industrial preparation of sulphuric acid is given below. 2SO2 + O2 ⇌ 2SO3 + Heat a. Explain the effect of concentration of O2 to get maximum yield of SO3 ? State rea son. b. Identify the law related to it. State it.

Answer»

a. Increase the concentration of oxygen, which increases the rate of forward reaction, 

b. When the concentration, pressure or tern perature of a system at equilibrium is changed, the system will readjust itself so as to nullify the effect of that change and attain a new state of equilibrium. This is Le Chatelier’s principle.
