If sulfur dioxide and oxygen can be made into sulfur trioxide, what is the reverse reaction?

Answer 1

Olivia Anton

#SO_3(g) rightleftharpoonsSO_2(g) + 1/2O_2#

Vast quantities of #"sulfur trioxide"# are utilized industrially for sulfuric acid synthesis:

#SO_3 + H_2Orightleftharpoons H_2SO_4#

The decomposition reaction, which is the opposite of sulfur trioxide turning into sulfur dioxide and oxygen, is represented by the following chemical equation: ( \text{2SO_3} \rightarrow \text{2SO_2} + \text{O}_2 ).
