Why is the reaction of `SO_(2)` to `SO_(3)` not rapid ini clean and dry air ? |
| Answer» The conversion or oxidation of `SO_(2)` to `SO_(3)` takes place in the presence of a catalyst . Water droplets associated with dust particles act as the catalyst for this reaction. The dust particles can absorb the `SO_(2)` on their surface where it can be oxidised to `SO_(3)` . Hence oxidation of `SO_(2)` to `SO_(3)` is not rapid in clean and dry air. | |
