Some bacteria obtain their energy by oxidising sulphur, producing sulphuric acid as a by-product. In the laboratory, or in industry, the first step in the conversion of sulphur to sulphuric acid is to produce sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide is converted to sulphur trioxide, which reacts with water to give sulphuric acid.
What is the name of the compound formed between sulphur trioxide and sulphuric acid?
