To determine the shapes of molecules, we must become acquainted with the Lewis electron dot structure. Although the Lewis theory does not determine the shapes of molecules, it is the first step in predicting shapes of molecules. The Lewis structure helps us identify the bond pairs and the lone pairs.

Question:
Sulfuric acid was once produced through the reaction of sulfur trioxide with water. Sulfur trioxide can form through the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas. When nitrogen monoxide gas is added to the system, the reaction speeds up significantly because it proceeds through the following steps:
equations
Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how you know it is the catalyst, and describe how it increases the rate of the reaction.
Answer:
NO
It is present but not consumed
NO Lowers the activation energy of the reaction
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance that is present in a chemical reaction and enables the reaction to occur at a faster rte but does not take part n the reaction
Therefore, whereby NO is not consumed, it is the catalyst
It functions by lowering the activation energy
