### Step-by-Step Solution **(i) What is oleum?** Oleum, also known as fuming sulfuric acid, is a solution of sulfur trioxide (SO₃) in sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). It is represented by the chemical formula H₂S₂O₇. Oleum is produced during the manufacture of sulfuric acid and is an important intermediate in the process. It is characterized by its ability to release sulfur trioxide when mixed with water, which can lead to the formation of additional sulfuric acid. **(ii) Write the chemical equation for the conversion of oleum to sulfuric acid.** ...
