Determining the Formation of a Sulfur Oxide
Giovanna conducted an experiment combining gaseous sulfur in air. The reaction was conducted in a fume hood for safety reasons.
Three possible reactions for this experiment are:
Reaction I
S + O2 → SO2
Reaction II
[?]S + [?]O₂ → [?]SO3
Reaction III
5S + 3N2 → S5N6
What is the correct balanced equation for Reaction II?
2S + 3O2 → 2SO3
S + O3 → SO3
S + O2 → SO3
