If a saturated solution of sodium nitrate, NaNO3, is prepared, the following equilibrium exists: a) NaNO3 (s) Na+ (aq) + NO3(aq) = If nitric acid is added to the saturated solution, what will happen to the equilibrium? Explain your answer. yothy The dissolution of NaNO3 is endothermic. What change in conditions would cause more NaNO3 (s) to dissolve? Explain your answer. One step in the production of sulfuric acid involves the equilibrium: 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) = 2 SO3 (g) b) 563 The reaction is exothermic. At equilibrium, only about 80% of the SO2 is converted to SO3. Suggest two ways the equilibrium yield of SO3 might be increased. Go to Settings to acti
