Why does SO2 and water make H2SO3 and NOT H2SO4? Explain your answer.

Chemistry

Vlada [557]3 years ago

This is because the law of conservation of mass will not be followed if, from SO2 and water, sulfuric acid is formed. Making a balanced chemical reaction is not possible no matter what. To obtain sulfuric acid, SO2 still needs to be oxidized further to SO3.

What was John Dalton's contribution to the development of the atomic theory?
Lorico [155]

John Dalton made some hypothesis about the structure of atom. He proposed that matter is composed of great number of indivisible particles called atoms they can neither be destroyed nor be created.

<h3>What is atomic theory?</h3>

There are different theories regarding the structure and electronic properties of an atom. Many scientists contributed to the modern theory of atomic structure in which John Dalton was first to mention the word atom.

According to Dalton' theory, matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed. All the atoms of the same element are identical in all aspects.

Atoms of different elements are different and the compounds are formed by the combination of atoms.  Dalton's theory provided a sound basis for the laws of chemical combination and also several properties of gases and liquids known at that time.

However, he could not explain the reason for chemical combination of atoms and did not give any idea about the existence of isotopes and isobars.

Hence, the main aspects of Dalton's theory was the indivisibility of atoms and the chances of chemical combination.

What is colligative property? why does theproperty changes the way that it does when the amount of solute is increased. State an
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Colligative properties are those substances that depend on the number of substances in the solution, not in the identity of that substance. The property changes the way that it does when the amount of solute is increased because it enables the solute to be scattered more. For example, the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of the pure water due to the salt ions present in water.
