17. Atmospheric sulfur dioxide is the main compound that causes acid rain. It reacts with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, H₂SO4 a. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. b. If 150.0 grams of SO₂ are emitted from a power plant, how much sulfuric acid can theoretically be produced? c. If the actual mass of H₂SO4 formed is 105.0 g, what is the percent yield of the reaction?
