Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We know that the process of the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is catalysed by NO2 gas. It occurs in two stages and i will show the balanced reaction equation of the both stages below;

Step 1

2NO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ------> 2NO(g) + 2SO3(g)

Step 2

2NO(g) + O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g)

So, the overall reaction equation is;

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ------> 2SO3(g)
