Is SO3 a Lewis base or Lewis acid?
I think it is acid, because there is a question that asks the acid site of SO3.
Can ninety two percent sulfuric acid prepared by adding liquid SO3 to eighty four percent sulfuric acid?
Yes, BUT... Liquid SO3 is HIGHLY reactive and not readily available. Pure SO3 reacts readily (and violently) with water or sulfuric acid. To manufacture sulfuric acid, dilute gaseous SO3 is absorbed in sulfuric acid to increase the concentration of the acid. 100% sulfuric acid can still absorb more SO3. When extra SO3 is dissolved in 100% H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) the solution is called oleum or fuming sulfuric acid. In general, oleum is used when free SO3 is required.
What acid is formed when SO3 is added to water?
sulphuric acid
Is so3 acidic or basic?
SO3 is an acidic oxide. It reacts violently with water to form sufuric acid, H2SO4
What are names of the anions in sulfurous acid and chlorous acid?
Sulfurous acid: sulfite, (SO3)-2 Chlorous acid: chlorite, (ClO2)-

H20 plus so3?
H2O + SO3 --> H2SO4 The product is sulfuric acid.

sulphuric acid
What is the product of SO3 plus H2O?
SO3 + H2O --> H2SO4 commonly called sulfuric acid.
Is so3 acidic or basic?
SO3 is an acidic oxide. It reacts violently with water to form sufuric acid, H2SO4
How is formed in the atmosphere?
The burning of coal or oil rich in sulpher releases SO3 to the atmosphere. This combines with water to form Sulpheric acid a strong acid. SO3 + H2O -> H2SO4
What are names of the anions in sulfurous acid and chlorous acid?
Sulfurous acid: sulfite, (SO3)-2 Chlorous acid: chlorite, (ClO2)-
Which is the anhydride of sulfuric acid?
Sulfur trioxide - SO3 + H2O -----> H2SO4
What is a balanced symbol equation for sulfuric acid?
So3+h2o==> h2so4
Is SO an acid or base?
There is no compound as SO. SO2 and SO3 are acidic
Equation for Sulfuric acid?
H2SO4 -----> 2H+ + SO4 -
