Sulfuric acid is an important industrial acid used in making chemicals, refining ores, and processing wastewater. The final step in the production of sulfuric acid involves the following reaction: H2S,07(aq) + H2O() → 2H,SO,(aq) Using your knowledge collision theory and the factors that affect the rate of a reaction, describe 3 ways that the rate of this reaction can be increased to produce more sulfuric acid. Include specific reasons why it would increase. (A:3)
