Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a component of acid rain that forms when SO2, a pollutant, reacts with oxygen and water according to the simplified reaction:

2 SO2(g) + O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) -------> 2 H2SO4(aq)

The generation of the electricity used by a medium-sized home produces about 35 kg of SO2 per year. Assuming that there is more than enough O2 and H2O, what mass of H2SO4, in kilograms, can form from this much SO2?
