A reaction is initiated by mixing suflur dioxide and oxygen. This reaction forms sulfur trioxide. 2 SO2 + O2 2 SO3 f we start the reaction with 0.100 M SO2 and 0.150 M O2, and allow the reaction to run until the oncentration of SO3 is 0.020 M, what is the concentration of O2 and SO3 in the mixture at that point?
