For each situation, determine how the equilibrium will shift to relieve the stress on the system. 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ↔ 2SO3 (g) + HEAT Column A 1. More Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is added to the system. : More Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is added to the system. 2. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is removed from the system. : Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is removed from the system. 3. The pressure of the system is increased.: The pressure of the system is increased. 4. The temperature of the system is decreased when heat is removed from the system.: The temperature of the system is decreased when heat is removed from the system. Column B a.The system will shift left towards the reactants. b.The system will shift right towards the products.
Column A | Column B
----------------------------------------
1. More SO3 added | b. The system will shift left towards the reactants.
2. SO2 removed | a. The system will shift right towards the products.
3. Pressure increased | a. The system will shift right towards the products.
4. Temp. decreased | b. The system will shift left towards the reactants.
