For the reaction $2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)$,$\Delta H^o = -198 \, kJ$. According to Le Chatelier's principle,the favorable conditions for the forward reaction are:

  • A
    Decrease in temperature and increase in pressure
  • B
    Any value of pressure with temperature
  • C
    Decrease in pressure with temperature
  • D
    Increase in pressure with temperature
