The following reaction can occur at 298K under
appropriate conditions.
2SO2(g) +O2(g)-----> 2SO3(g)
An equilibrium mixture contain O2(g) and SO3(g) at partial pressure
of 0.50atm and 2.0atm respectively. Using data available in
Appendix 4 of your textbook, determine the equilibrium partial
pressure of SO2 in the mixture. Will this reaction be most favored
at a high or at a low temperature, assuming standard conditions?
