Question

Sulfur trioxide is a gas that reacts with liquid water to produce aqueous sulfuric Acid or acid rain what is the equation for this reaction do not worry about balancing the equation.

Answer 1

SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular formula for the involved species are:

• Sulfur trioxide = SO₃. ("trioxide" indicates the presence of 3 oxygen atoms).

• Water = H₂O

• Sulfuric acid = H₂SO₄

With the above information in mind we can proceed to write the reaction equation:

• SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq)
