What else can I help you with?
Is so3 acidic or basic?
SO3 is an acidic oxide. It reacts violently with water to form sufuric acid, H2SO4
Is SO3 an acid?
Not in and of itself, but it readily reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, H2SO4
What is formed whem Sulfur dioxide reacts with water?
Sulphurous acid is formed when sulphur dioxide dissolves in water. Sulphuric acid is formed when sulphur trioxide dissolves in water. Over time, sulphurous acid will oxidize to sulphuric. SO2 + H20 -> H2SO3 (sulphurous acid) SO3 + H20 -> H2SO4 (sulphuric acid)
Why is SO3 insoluble in water but soluble in sulphuric acid?
SO3 reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, which then dissolves in water. This reaction is highly exothermic and produces a lot of heat. Therefore, SO3 is not directly soluble in water but dissolves in sulfuric acid, which acts as a solvent for it.
Is SO3 ionic or covalent?
SO3 is COVALENT. It is sulphur trioxide. and is used to make sulphuric acid. At STP it is a gas , and is dissolved in more sulphuric acid to make oleum (fuming sulphuric acid) ( H2S2O7). Oleum is 'NASTY' stuff. Oleum is then siddolved into water to form sulphuric acid. SO3 + H2SO4 = H2S2O7 H2S2O7 + H2O = 2H2SO4.
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
Is so3 acidic or basic?
SO3 is an acidic oxide. It reacts violently with water to form sufuric acid, H2SO4
Is SO3 an acid?

What is the product of SO3 plus H2O?
SO3 + H2O --> H2SO4 commonly called sulfuric acid.

What is the chemical equation for aid rain?
Acid rain is formed when SO3 dissolves in water, i.e. in droplets that form clouds. As a product H2SO4 is formed. Since SO3 is produced in areas with heavy industry, thus these areas are under particular danger of acid rain. So, instead of pure rainwater, diluted H2SO4 falls on the ground. Acid rain is not a compound so it has no chemical formula. Equation: SO3(g) + H2O(l) ---> H2SO4(aq) Luck!

H20 plus so3?
Combining water (H2O) with sulfur trioxide (SO3) would produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4) according to the chemical reaction: H2O + SO3 → H2SO4. Sulfuric acid is a strong mineral acid commonly used in various industries for its corrosive properties and as a chemical reagent.
The reaction between sulfur trioxide and water is called?
Dissolution of SO3 in water. to form sulphuric Acid. Industrially, sulphur trioxide is dissolved in sulphuric acid to form oleum. Oleum ( fuming sulphuric acid) is seriously nasty stuff. SO3 + H2SO4 = H2S2O7 The oleum is then slowly dissolved in water to form sulphuric acid of the given molarity(strength). H2S2O7 + H2O = 2H2SO4 It is done this way in order to prevent 'spitting and fuming'. added to which you form twice a mush sulphuric acid.
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.
