AP Chemistry
2.6 Resonance and Formal Charge
2.5 Lewis Diagrams
2.2 Intramolecular Force and Potential Energy
Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen gas to produce sulfur trioxide according to the following equation:
\[ 2\text{ SO}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{ SO}_3(g) \]
Based on Lewis diagrams in which all atoms obey the octet rule, what is the predicted outcome for the average \(\text{S}-\text{O}\) bond length as \(\text{SO}_2(g)\) is converted to \(\text{SO}_3(g)\), and what is the justification?
