Question #75aa6

Answer 1

Sulfur dioxide, or `SO_2`, will react with oxygen gas, or `O_2`, to form sulfur trioxide, or `SO_3`, according to the balanced chemical equation

`2SO_(2(g)) + O_(2(g)) -> 2SO_(3(g))`

Two moles of sulfur will react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce two moles of sulfur trioxide.
