2) Write the reaction for sulfur trioxide gas being prepared from sulfur dioxide gas by reaction with oxygen. This is a reversible feaction in which not all So, is converted to SO, even with excess O, present. In a given experiment, 21.2 g of SO, was produced from 24.0 g of SO,. What is the theoretical yield of SO,? What is the percent yield?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Sulfur dioxide can be oxidized to sulfur trioxide in the presence of oxygen and some active catalyst such as oxides of vanadium, alkali metals.
