Is sulfur trioxide is ionic?

Sulfur trioxide is not ionic; it is covalently bonded. When dissolved in water, however, sulfur trioxide forms sulfuric acid, which is partially ionic: It dissociates into hydrogen ions and sulfate polyatomic cations.

How you make battery acid?

"Battery Acid" nearly always refers to Sulfuric Acid.Most sulfuric acid is made either by way of the Contact Process or (in much smaller quantities) the Wet Sulfuric Acid process.In the Contact Process sulfur is first burned burned to produce sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide is then oxidized to sulfur trioxide using oxygen in the presence of a vanadium(V) oxide catalyst. The sulfur trioxide is absorbed into 97-98% sulfuric acid to form oleum (also known as fuming sulfuric acid). The oleum is then diluted with water to form concentrated sulfuric acid. Dissolving the sulfur trioxide into sulfuric acid and then diluting to GET sulfuric acid sounds strange but directly dissolving the sulfur trioxide into liquid water is so exothermic that it creates boils the water and creates an extremely corrosive aerosol that is difficult to collect rather than a liquid.In the Wet Sulfuric Acid process, sulfur contained in a fuel or hydrogen sulfide contained in the fuel is burned with the fuel creating sulfur dioxide gas. As with the Contact Process, the sulfur dioxide is reacted with oxygen over vanadium(V) oxide catalyst to produce sulfur trioxide. The next couple of steps differ from the contact process. The sulfur trioxide is hydrated with water in the gas phase to form sulfuric acid gas. This gas is then condensed to form highly concentrated sulfuric acid. One of the benefits of this is that clearing the sulfur from the exhaust gases of the burning fuel reduces air pollution while simultaneously producing a product that can be sold to offset the cost of the air pollution control measures.


How is sulfuric acid introduced during combustion process of diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel contains compounds of sulfur that are oxidized during combustion to produce sulfur trioxide, which dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid.


Sources of sulfuric acid?

Sulfuric acid (sulphuric in the UK) is obtained from sulfur (sulphur in the UK), a yellow mineral found in large quantities in volcanic regions. First the sulfur is melted and burned to form sulfur dioxide gas. This is passed with further oxygen over a catalyst of Vanadium oxide to speed up the reaction whereby a gas called sulfur trioxide is formed. Sulfur trioxide will react directly with water to produce sulfuric acid but as the reaction is so violent, the sulfur trioxide is dissolved first in some already made sulphuric acid. The resulting oily, fuming, corrosive liquid is called 'fuming sulfuric acid' or 'oleum'. This oleum is then reacted with water to form a double quantity of sulfuric acid, one lot being product required and the other sent back to the stage in the process where the sulfur trioxide is re-dissolved in it.


What is the reaction between sulfur trioxide and water called?

It is a Synthesis reaction (also called Combination reaction) and is Exothermic , producing Sulfuric acid.
