In an experiment, 0.100 mol SO₃ was introduced into a flask of volume 2.00 L and the reaction 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2 SO₃(g) was allowed to come to equilibrium at 700 K.

(a) Using information in Table 5G.2, calculate the equilibrium concentrations of the three gases.

(b) The volume of the flask is increased to 6.00 L. Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations of the gases.
