Actual question: 2so3-->2so2 but the equation is considered to be 2so3-->2so2+o2

my doubt is that in what basis do we consider the formation of O2 and how concentration of O2 became 0.3

    Dear Madhu, read this carefully! Let's say that in this balanced reaction, 2 moles of SO3 decompose to give 2 moles of SO2 and 1 mole of O2. It means if 2 moles of SO2 is decomposed at the reactant side, 2 moles of SO2 and 1 mole of O2 will be produced at the product side. Similarly, if 1 mole of SO2 is decomposed at the reactant side, only 1 mole of SO2 will be produced and 0.5 mole of O2 will be produced. It's simple molar calculations. Coming to your question, as you can clearly see that, 0.6 moles of SO2 is being dissociated...that's why 0.6 and 0.3 moles of SO2 and O2 will be formed at the product side.

    given equation is correct . 2moles So3 is 0.6. So one mole of oxygen is 0.3

    can you send full question i think it is given in the question 2SO3-2SO2 +O2

    eduncle-logo-app

    mistakes is in question

    eduncle-logo-app

    and check how 0.3 comes👆

    eduncle-logo-app

    but why only SO2's Concentration is taken in finding the concentration of SO3 sir? we must subtract (0.6+0.3). isn't this right?

    eduncle-logo-app

    no when you take equilibrium condition you have to proceed like this...taking X if one mole if 2 mole then 2x

    eduncle-logo-app

    is this correct sir?

    eduncle-logo-app

    like this

    eduncle-logo-app

    simply proceed like this👆

    eduncle-logo-app

    why only 2x is taken sir😫

    eduncle-logo-app

    2 mole is there madhumathy..so 2x

    eduncle-logo-app

    if one mole then only x like in O2

    eduncle-logo-app

    everything is given madhumathy initially 1M of SO3

    eduncle-logo-app

    thankyou sir🙋🏻‍♀️

    you are welcome😊
