The reaction $$ \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q) $$ is the last step in the commercial production of sulfuric acid. The enthalpy change for this reaction is $-227 \mathrm{kJ} .$ In designing a sulfuric acid plant, is it necessary to provide for heating or cooling of the reaction mixture? Explain.
