Question

Solid calcium oxide reacts with sulfur trioxide gas to produce solid calcium sulfate

Answer 1

Answer: The chemical equation for the given reaction is given below.

Explanation:

When solid calcium oxide reacts with sulfur trioxide gas to produce solid calcium sulfate, the chemical equation follows:

$CaO(s)+SO_3(g)\rightarrow CaSO_4(s)$

This is the reaction when a metal oxide reacts with non-metal oxide to produce a salt.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of solid calcium oxide reacts with 1 mole of sulfur trioxide gas to produce 1 mole of solid calcium sulfate.
