Question

Write balanced chemical equations to correspond to each
of the following descriptions: (a) When sulfur trioxide gas
reacts with water, a solution of sulfuric acid forms. (b) Boron
sulfide, B2S31s2, reacts violently with water to form
dissolved boric acid, H3BO3, and hydrogen sulfide gas.
(c) Phosphine, PH31g2, combusts in oxygen gas to form water
vapor and solid tetraphosphorus decaoxide. (d) When solid
mercury(II) nitrate is heated, it decomposes to form solid mercury(
II) oxide, gaseous nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen. (e) Copper
metal reacts with hot concentrated sulfuric acid solution to
form aqueous copper(II) sulfate, sulfur dioxide gas, and water.
