Here's the word problem, make sure I even wrote it out right. If it's right, I can't balance it.
Sulfuric acid decomposes into its nonmetal oxide and water
H2SO4 --> SO + H2O
I can't balance it! Please help!

Check this equation and do another question!

At a wager: TiO2 + 2C + 2Cl2 --> TiCl4 + 2CO C is a sturdy, Cl2 a gas (i imagine) and CO is definately a gas. No clue about the different 2. Why not seem it up? you need to have documents tables or something.

While you are balancing with scales, I would suggest that you firstly put water in the scales, as u have to add sulphuric acid to water for safety purposes!

H2SO4 does not break down to SO generally. It is formed By SO3 addition to water so equilibrium equasion would have it go to SO3 not SO.

the equation is balanced. Sulfite (SO3) is its nonmetal oxide. ths how it decomposed
H2SO4 ---------> H2O + SO3

H2SO4(l) → SO3(g) + H2O(l)
this is Balanced because...
H 2 -----> 2
S 1 ----->1
O 4 ------> 4

Sorry, girl, it's been years since I opened a chemistry book... Maybe SO+H2O+O2???

SO3 + H2O → H2SO4

Its not possible it cant yield SO by itself and Oxygens wont add up.

the actual reaction is :
H2SO4 ---> SO2 + H2O
SO2 is d non-metal oxide, the non-metal is S (sulphur) . and water as u knw H2O.
