Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how
you know it is the catalyst, and describe how it
increases the rate of the reaction.
Sulfuric acid was once produced through the
reaction of sulfur trioxide with water. Sulfur trioxide
can form through the reaction of sulfur dioxide and
oxygen gas. When nitrogen monoxide gas is
added to the system, the reaction speeds up
significantly because it proceeds through the
following steps:
2NO(g)+029)→ 2N0 (9)
2NO2(g) +2502 → 2NO(g) +2503(9)

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
