In the reaction, `2SO_(2)(s)+O_(2)(g) hArr 2SO_(3)(g)+X cal`, most favourable conditions of temperature and pressure for greater yield of `SO_(3)` are

A

High temperature and high pressure

B

High temperature and low pressure

C

Low temperature and high pressure

D

Low temperature and low pressure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Reaction is exothermic and volume is decreasing from left to right so for higher production of `SO_3` there should be low temperature and high pressure.

A reaction system in equilibrium according to reaction 2SO_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g)hArr2SO_(3)(g) in one litre vessel at a given temperature was found to be 0.12 mole each of SO_(2) and SO_(3) and 5 mole of O_(2) In another vessell of one litre contains 32 g of SO_(2) at the same temperature. What mass of O_(2) must be added to this vessel in order that at equilibrium 20% of SO_(2) is oxidized to SO_(3) ?

Given that equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_(2)(g) + O_(2)(g)hArr2SO_(3)(g) has a value of 278 at a particular temperature. What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the following reaction at the same temperature ? SO_(3)(g)hArrSO_(2)(g) + (1)/(2)O_(2)(g)
