Why does SO2 and water make H2SO3 and NOT H2SO4?

Chemistry
2 answers:
kogti [31]3 years ago

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>

What is the chemical formula for iron(2) oxide
solmaris [256]
Iron (II) oxide is composed of iron with an oxidation number of +2 (shown by the II after iron) and an oxygen that has an oxidation number of -2 (oxygen almost always has an oxidation state of -2).  Since the anion and cation both have a charge of +or- 2, they bond with each other with a 1 to 1 ratio and the formula should be FeO

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Determine the hydronium ion concentration in a solution that is 0.0005 m hcl. answer in units of m.
erma4kov [3.2K]
H₃O ions are when water is protonated
H₂O + H⁺ --> H₃O⁺
HCl is a strong acid therefore complete ionisation takes place.
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
1 mol of HCl dissociates to give out 1 mol of H⁺
since H⁺ together with water forms H₃O⁺ ions,
[HCl] = [H₃O⁺]
therefore concentration of [H₃O⁺] is 0.0005 M
