Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The additional information required for the calculation of mass of H2SO4 obtained from deposition of sulfur on an underground area of 1.00 km2 needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Sulfur is a non-metal that is placed in the group-16 just below the oxygen atom in the group. It mainly exists in the yellow powdered form. The reaction of sulfur with oxygen leads to formation of different oxides such as sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide etc. The reaction of sulfur trioxide with water forms sulfuric acid. This is represented as follows:

S + O2 SO2SO2  + O2 SO3SO3 + H2OH2SO4
