Consider the following exothermic reaction
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2SO3(g)
If the temperature of the reaction is reduced from 800°C to 500°C, an no other change takes place, then
- the reaction rate increases
- concentration of SO3 decreases
-
concentration of SO3 increases
- SO2 gas becomes unreactive
- O3 gas becomes unreactive
