General description

Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is an oxide of sulfur. It is released during the combustion of sulfur bearing fuels. Sulfur dioxide in the presence of vanadia catalyst oxidizes to form sulfur trioxide. The kinetics of this reaction has been studied. Density function theory and ab initio methods have been used to study the hydrolysis of SO3 to form sulfuric acid.

Application

Sulfur trioxide (SO3) may be used in the synthesis of methane sulfonic acid (MSA) by sulfonating methane.
