Question 16 • IA-Chemistry A Survey of Chemistry A

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? Note: You do not need to balance the equation.

Answer
A
SO3(g) + H2O(g) H2SO4(g)
B
SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(aq)
C
H2SO4(g) SO3(g) + H2O(l)
D
S3O(g) H2SO4(s) + H2O(l)

Explanation

Sulfur trioxide reacts with liquid water to form aqueous sulfuric acid. The equation is SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq), matching the choice with sulfur trioxide gas, liquid water, and aqueous sulfuric acid.
