consider the reaction
2SO2 + O2 <---> 2SO3

A SHIFTS TO THE LEFT
B SHIFTS TO THE RIGHT
C NO CHANGE

ADDITIONAL SO2 IS INJECTED INTO REACTION VESSEL
I PICKED B

SOME SO3 IS REMOVED FROM THE REATION VESSEL
I PICKED B AGAIN

THE SIZE OF THE REACTION VESSEL IS DECREASED
NOT SURE B OR C

SOME He IS INJECTED INTO REATION VESSEL
NOT SURE B OR C
