Consider the equilibrium

\mathrm{2SO_2+ O_2 \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3}

On the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle, which of the following will shift the equilibrium in the forward direction?

Option: 1

Increasing the concentration of \mathrm{SO_3}


Option: 2

Increasing the pressure on the system


Option: 3

Increasing the volume of the container


Option: 4

Removing some \mathrm{SO_2} from the system

According to Le-Chatelier's principle, on increasing the pressure, the equilibrium shifts in the direction of decreasing number of moles.

Hence, on increasing the pressure, more amount of SO3 will be formed

Hence, the correct answer is Option (2)
