20. Use L.C.P to predict the effect of a decrease in temperature on the equilibrium concentration of SO3(g).
SO2 (g) + O2 (g)

SO3 (g) + 96kJ

Imposed change: Decrease in temperature

To partially counteract the imposed change: system tries to increase temperature by shifting in
the exothermic direction
This happens by: shifting forward producing more energy. SO2 and O2 react to form more SO3.
Final concentration at equilibrium: [SO3] increases
21. Le Chateliers Principle: increasing a reactant concentration

The reactants and products in the above reaction are at equilibrium. What would happen to the [SCN(aq)] and
[FeSCN+2(aq)] respectively if Fe+3(aq) is removed by adding phosphate ions?
SABIS Proprietary

Chemistry Weekly Exam Material

Removing Fe3+ means decreasing the concentration of [Fe3+]. The system wants to increase the [Fe3+].
To do so the equilibrium shifts to the left consuming the FeSCN2+ while producing Fe+3 and SCN-.
Therefore, the [SCN-] increases and [FeSCN+2] decreases.
