2SO2-g-O2-g-x21CC-2SO3-g-Q-SO3-2-SO2-2-O2-Q-0-001-2-0-001-2-0-001-Q-10-001Qc-1000Qc-gt-Kc-xA0-Thus- reaction shifts in backward direction i-e- towards left-

2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)Q=[SO3]2[SO2]2[O2]Q=(0.001)2(0.001)2(0.001)Q=10.001Qc=1000Qc>Kc Thus, reaction shifts in backward direction i.e. towards left.

${2 S O}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ {2 S O}_{3} (g)$

$Q = \frac{[S O_{3}]^{2}}{[S O_{2}]^{2} [O_{2}]}$

$Q = \frac{(0.001)^{2}}{(0.001)^{2} (0.001)}$

$Q = \frac{1}{0.001}$

$Q_{c} = 1000$

$Q_{c} > K_{c}$

Thus, reaction shifts in backward direction i.e. towards left.
