The oxidation of

S{O_2}

S{O_3}

is an exothermic reaction. The yield of

S{O_3}

will be maximum if:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Temperature is reduced and pressure is increased

The correct answer is B (Temperature is reduced and pressure is increased) because the reaction is exothermic and involves a decrease in the number of moles of gas, favoring low temperature and high pressure.
