I Review | Constants | Periodic Table
The oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is accelerated by
NO2. The reaction proceeds according to:
NO2(g) + SO2(g) → NO(g) + SO3 (g)
2NO(g) + O2(9) → 2NO2(g)
Part A
Show that, with appropriate coefficients, the two reactions can be summed to give the overall
oxidation of SO2 by O2 to give SO3. Give the equation for the final overall oxidation of SO2
by O2 to give SO3 as your answer.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
