SO₂ is a polar molecule and dissolves in water to form H₂SO₃; however, it does not have the ability to break the H-O bond in water and isolate an Oxygen atom to form H₂SO₄. This is why in the production of Sulfuric acid via the contact process, SO₂ is converted into SO₃ first.

<span>SO2+H2O = H2SO3

To get H2SO4,
SO2 must be oxidized to form SO3, Sulfur tri-oxide
 2SO2+ O2= 2SO3 SO3 can the dissolve in water to form acid rain:

SO3 + H2O = H2SO4</span>

Condensation is a process for which a. ΔG is negative at high temperature but positive at low temperature. b. ΔH and ΔS are nega
IgorC [24]

Answer:

b. ΔH and ΔS are negative at all temperatures .

Explanation:

During the process of condensation ,

The gaseous state convert to liquid state ,

Hence , the entropy of the system reduces , i.e. , the randomness decreases .

And the value for entropy is negative ,

hence ,

Δ S = negative ,

Δ H = negative ,

Since ,

The heat is releasing from system .

hence , the most appropriate option will be ΔH and ΔS are negative at all temperatures .

An atom is a small building block that forms matter. Many different models of an atom have been made over the years. Which of th
puteri [66]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) The atom has changed over the years.</em>

Explanation:

Option A is not correct because an atom does not change. It remains the same always. The structure of an atom will always contain neutrons, protons and electrons.

Scientific theories tend to change over time as new information is brought up. Novel techniques lead to more advanced experiments and results. As a result, a scientific theory is subjected to change whenever evidence is found for a new theory which challenges the older one.

The atomic theory has changed many times due to novel scientific techniques and experiments.
