Question

A 3L flask is filled with .45 mol SO3, .5 mol SO2, and .2 mol O2 and allowed to reach equilibrium. 

Kc=.12

Predict the effect on SO3 as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, the reaction quotient

2SO--- 2SO+ O2

Will the concentration of SO3

1) decrease beacuste Q greater than K

2) decrease beacuase Q less than K

3) increase because Q less than K

4) increase beacuse Q greater than K

5) stay the same beacuse Q=K
