Q. Consider the reaction equilibrium,
$2SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{3(g)}; \Delta H^{o} = -198\, kJ.$ On the basis of Le-Chatelier’s principle, the condition favourable for the forward reaction is

Equilibrium

Solution:

It is an exothermic reaction hence low temperature and increasing pressure w ill favour forward reaction.
