Solution: An engineer examining the oxidation of SO 2 in the manufacture of sulfuric acid determines that Kc = 1.7 x 108 at 600 K: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) (a) At equilibrium, PSO3 = 300. atm and PO2 = 100. at

An engineer examining the oxidation of SO ₂ in the manufacture of sulfuric acid determines that K_c = 1.7 x 108 at 600 K: 

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g) 

(a) At equilibrium, PSO₃ = 300. atm and PO₂ = 100. atm. Calculate PSO₂.
