Sulfur trioxide reacts with water to produce sulfuric acid.
SO3+H2O→H2SO4 \text{SO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 SO3+H2O→H2SO4Calculate the maximum mass of sulfuric acid, H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4H2SO4, that can be produced when 24 kg of sulfur trioxide, SO3\text{SO}_3SO3, reacts with excess water.
(Relative atomic masses: H=1\text{H} = 1H=1, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, S=32\text{S} = 32S=32; Relative molecular mass of sulfur trioxide, SO3=80\text{SO}_3 = 80SO3=80)
