1. Sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas that gives off the smell of burnt matches. It is also a by-product of copper extraction and the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) that are contaminated with sulfur compounds. This leads to sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Sulfur trioxide, a product of sulfur dioxide, is also a pollutant, as well as a component in acid rain. Consider the following reaction at equilibrium for the questions below: 2502 (3) + O2 (3) 2s03 (g) a. Draw the best Lewis Structure of the product that is produced from this reaction. b. Identify the molecular geometry (shape) of the product that is produced from this reaction. c. Identify the hybridization of the central atom(3) of the product that is produced from this reaction.

1.
Sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas that gives off the smell of burnt matches. It is also a by-product of copper
extraction and the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) that are contaminated with sulfur compounds. This
leads to sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Sulfur trioxide, a product of sulfur dioxide, is also a pollutant, as
well as a component in acid rain. Consider the following reaction at equilibrium for the questions below:
2502 (g) + 02 (g)
2803 (g)
a.
Draw the best Lewis Structure of the product that is produced frrom this reaction.
b. Identify the molecular geometry (shape) of the product that is produced from this reaction.
с.
Identify the hybridization of the central atom(s) of the product that is produced from this
reaction.
d.
State the bond angle for the product that is produced from this reaction.
e.
Identify the number of a bonds and o bonds in the product that is produced from this
reaction.
f.
Is the product that is produced from this reaction polar or non-polar?
g. Identify the type(s) of intermolecular forces that are present in the product that is produced
from this reaction.
h. Write the equilibrium-constant expression (K) for the given equilibrium reaction, which is
taking place in the production of sulfur trioxide.
Predict the direction of shift if SO3 is removed from the equilibrium reaction mixture.
1.
Predict the direction of shift if O2 is added from the equilibrium reaction mixture.
k.
Predict the direction of shift if a catalyst is added to the equilibrium reaction mixture.
