4. A step in the Contact Process, for the manufacture of sulphuric acid, is the catalytic
oxidation of sulphur dioxide: I'
AH= - 196k1mol-1

If sulphur dioxide and oxygen are heated to a temperature of 450 c and at a pressure of
2 atm in the presence of a catalyst of vanadium(V) oxide, a dynamic equilibrium is
reached in which about 98 o/o of the sulphur dioxide is converted into sulphur trioxide.

(a) (i) Explain the meaning of the term dynamic equlllbrium.

(2)

(ii) State the effect on the percentage of sulphur dioxide converted, if extra oxygen
is added to the system in equilibrium.
