Temperature and equilibrium position

Q05.4 1 mark

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) reacts reversibly with oxygen (O₂) to produce sulfur trioxide (SO₃):

2 SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2 SO3(g)2\,SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\,SO_3(g)

The forward reaction releases 198 kJ/mol of energy.

The temperature is increased.

What is the effect on the position of the equilibrium? Tick one box.
