The Claus Process is an industrial process used to remove toxic hydrogen sulfide gas during the processing of crude oil. The chemical equation for this process is : 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) <> 3S(s) + 2H2O(g) + heat

Use Le Chatelier's Principle to describe why the following changes favour the removal of H2S.

(a) Removing sulfur as soon as it forms

(b) Cooling the reaction chamber
