Oleum produces fumes of_____________________?

Correct answer: C. SO3

  • A. SO2
  • B. H2SO4
  • C. SO3
  • D. SO2 + H2SO4

Explanation

Oleum is sulfuric acid containing dissolved sulfur trioxide, so it releases SO3 fumes when exposed to air. The visible fumes are therefore not primarily SO2 or H2SO4 vapour.
