Q. In the following reversible reaction, $2SO_{2} + O_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2{SO}_{3} + Q\ cal$ Most suitable condition for the higher production of $SO_{3}$ is
A) Low temperature and high pressure
B) Low temperature and low pressure
C) High temperature and high pressure
D) High temperature and low pressure
Explanation
(a)
Reaction is exothermic and volume is decreasing from left to right, so for higher production of $SO_{3}$, there should be low temperature and high pressure
