Question

Using SCH4U/grade 12 chemistry knowledge; given the reaction mechanism below, identify which is most likely to be the catalyst and explain how it helps to speed up the reaction (in general)

 

Step 1: Sg(s) + 8 O2(g) → 8 SO2(g)
V₂05(s)
Step 2: 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)
2 SO 3(g)
Step 3: SO3(g) + H₂SO4(aq) → H₂S₂O7(aq)
Step 4: H₂S₂O7(aq) + H₂O(1)→ 2 H₂SO4(aq)
