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
  • A.
    the reaction rate increases
  • B.
    concentration of SO3 decreases
  • C.
    concentration of SO3 increases
  • D.
    SO2 gas becomes unreactive
  • E.
    O3 gas becomes unreactive
Correct Answer: Option C
