Sulfur trioxide is a gas that reacts with liquid water to produce aqueous sulfuric acid, or acid rain. What is the equation for this reaction?

A. [tex]\(SO_3(g) + H_2O(g) \rightarrow H_2SO_4(g)\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(SO_3(g) + H_2O(l) \rightarrow H_2SO_4(aq)\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(H_2SO_4(g) \rightarrow SO_3(g) + H_2O(l)\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(S_3O(g) \rightarrow H_2SO_4(s) + H_2O(l)\)[/tex]

The reaction of sulfur trioxide (SO₃) with water (H₂O) produces aqueous sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and is represented by the following chemical equation:

[tex]\[ \text{SO}_3 (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 (aq) \][/tex]

So, the correct equation is:
[tex]\[ \text{SO}_3 (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 (aq) \][/tex]
