A gaseous mixture is prepared at 900 K in which the initial partial pressures are pSO3= 1.50 atm, pSO2= 1.00 atm, and pO2= 3.00 atm. 2SO3(g)=2SO2(g) +O2(g)    Kp=0.023 at 900K. (a) Is this reaction at equilibrium? If not, in which direction will the reaction go to reach equilibrium? (b) What is the partial pressure of SO3 after the reaction comes to equilibrium? (c) What is the total pressure at equilibrium?
