Solved: The balance between SO2 and SO3 is important in
Chapter 20, Problem 86P(choose chapter or problem)
The balance between \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\) is important in understanding acid rain formation in the troposphere. From the following information at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(\mathrm{S}(s)+ \ \ \mathrm{O}_2(g)\ \rightleftharpoons\ \mathrm{SO}_2(g)\) \(K_{1}=4.2 \times 10^{52}\)
\(2\mathrm{S}(s)+3\mathrm{O}_2(g)\ \rightleftharpoons\ 2\mathrm{SO}_3(g)\) \(K_{2}=9.8 \times 10^{128}\)
calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction
\(2\mathrm{SO}_2(g)+\mathrm{O}_2(g)\ \rightleftharpoons\ 2\mathrm{SO}_3(g)\)
