Sulfuric acid is a component of acid rain formed when gaseous sulfur dioxide pollutant reacts with gaseous oxygen and liquid water to form aqueous sulfuric acid. Write the balanced chem- ical equation for this reaction



Answer :

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of sulfuric acid from sulfur dioxide, oxygen, and water is:

2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) → 2 H2SO4 (aq)

This equation shows that two molecules of sulfur dioxide react with one molecule of oxygen and two molecules of water to produce two molecules of sulfuric acid in the liquid form. The reaction is catalyzed by water, and sulfuric acid formed in this way is a major contributor to acid rain.
