To begin with, SO3 is sulfate trioxide, while SO3 -2 is called the sulfite ion.

They both are molecules, consisting of the same types of elements in the same quantity.

Oh My God! They really are so similar. Is there any difference at all, except the one with the charge is called sulfite, and the other with no charge is called sulfur trioxide?

They are exceptionally similar. That I know. It's hard to understand the difference.

Well,

the difference, primarily, is that one has charge and the other hasn't.

But, why?

Much of the answer lies in this reason. It's a fact.

The fact is that - both the molecules

WHAT IS FeSO4 equals FE203 plus SO2 plus SO3?

The equation FeSO4 = Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3 is not balanced. To balance it, one possible balanced equation could be: 2FeSO4 = Fe2O3 + 2SO2 + 2SO3.


What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction SO2 plus NO2--SO3 plus NO?

SO2(g) + NO2(g) ==> SO3(g) + NO(g)Keq = [SO3][NO]/[SO2][NO2] Without knowing concentrations, one cannot calculate the actual value of Keq.
