Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect of increase in temperature on the equilibrium reaction, ${\text{SO}}_{\text{3}}\left(g\right)+\text{NO}\left(g\right)+heat\rightleftharpoons {\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium is a state of a chemical reaction in which the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction. Equilibrium constant is a constant at any point of equilibrium; where, the ratio of the concentration of the products, each raised to power of their respective coefficient, to the concentration of the reactants, each raised to a power of their respective coefficient. Equilibrium constant depends only on temperature.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of increase in pressure on the equilibrium reaction, ${\text{SO}}_{\text{3}}\left(g\right)+\text{NO}\left(g\right)+heat\rightleftharpoons {\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)$ is to be stated.
