  1. Sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas that gives off the smell of burnt matches. It is also a by-product of copper extraction and the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) that are contaminated with sulfur compounds. This leads to sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Sulfur trioxide, a product of sulfur dioxide, is also a pollutant, as well as a component in acid rain. Consider the following reaction at equilibrium for the questions below:


2SO2 (g) + O2 (g)

2SO3 (g)


f. Is the product that is produced from this reaction polar or non-polar?


g. Identify the type(s) of intermolecular forces that are present in the product that is produced from this reaction.


h. Write the equilibrium-constant expression (Kp) for the given equilibrium reaction, which is taking place in the production of sulfur trioxide.


i. Consider the equilibrium reaction given above. Consider an experiment where 1.50 mol sulfur dioxide gas and 1.50 mol oxygen gas are combined in a 1.00 L flask at 727°C with a Kp value of 4.13 x 10-2. Calculate the concentrations of all the reactant(s) and product(s) at equilibrium.


Please answer all parts of question.
