Problem
For the system at 700K,
2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)
an equilibrium mixture is sealed at constant volume and temperature. A small quantity of additional SO3(g) is injected.
Explain the direction in which the equilibrium position will shift and state whether the final equilibrium concentration of O2 will be greater than, less than, or equal to its original value.
