The key stage in this process is the reaction between sulfur dioxide and oxygen. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) DH = –197 kJ mol–1 Vanadium(V) oxide, V2O5, is used as a heterogeneous catalyst for this process. With the aid of an energy profile diagram, explain using collision theory why the addition of the catalyst speeds up the reaction. [3]

The flask was then rapidly cooled to liquefy the SO3 so that it can be separated from the gaseous SO2 and O2. Excess water was carefully added to the liquid SO3, causing the following reaction to occur: S
