Here in this question,  The reaction given to us is ,  2SO2 +O2 <==> 2SO3. HERE THE ANSWER WILL BE OPTION B. REASON , I'm option a the concentration of O2 will not always be half of SO2. As , it depend on the initial conditions, suppose at the starting of the reaction in the reactor ,the propotiom was not half but then slowly equilibrium reached and the ratio is acquired . So we can't say always it was and will be half. Now , the rate equat ... See the full answer
