Topic: Sulfur trioxide


  
  Sulfuric acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sulfuric acid is a constituent of acid rain, being formed by atmospheric oxidation of sulfur dioxide in the presence of water.
Sulfuric acid is produced in the upper atmosphere of Venus by the sun's photochemical action on carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor.
This is oxidised to sulfur trioxide using oxygen in the presence of a vanadium(V) oxide catalyst.

Oxides containing only one oxygen are called oxide or monoxide, those containing two oxygen atoms dioxide, three trioxide, four tetroxide, and so on following the Greek numerical prefixes.
Oxides are characterized by a redistribution of electrons, in which the oxygen atoms have a net surplus of electrons and the other atoms a net lack.
In oxides of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and halogens, covalent bonds occur between oxygen and the other elements.

The ceria, particularly in combination with zirconia, works as an oxygen storage component, enabling the oxidation of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to occur during moments when the engine exhaust is fuel-rich.
The lanthana serves to stabilize the alumina against a loss of surface area, and the baria acts as a trap for sulfur trioxide: a catalyst deactivator, or "poison." 4) The importance of small particles to the performance of catalysts has stimulated extensive efforts to develop tools for their characterization (2,3).
Originating from the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering, this area of study is now often referred to as "nanoscience".
