Solution

Conversion of Sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide:
Sulphur dioxide gas is oxidized to sulphur trioxide gas by oxygen in the presence of Platinum $(Pt)$ catalyst.
The reaction occurs at $450 ° C$ temperature & $1.5 atm$ pressure.
Balanced chemical equation :
$\underset{Sulphur dioxide}{2 {SO}_{2} (g)} + \underset{Oxygen}{O_{2} (g)} ⇌_{450 ° C / 1.5 atm}^{Pt catalyst} \underset{Sulphur trioxide}{2 {SO}_{3} (g)}$
Hence, the conditions required are:
Temperature- $450 ° C$
Catalyst- Platinum $(Pt)$
Pressure- $1.5 atm$
