1) The oxidation of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide occurs using nitric oxide as a catalyst.
\[\ce{2SO2_{(g)} + O2_{(g)} ->[NO_{(g)}] 2SO3_{(g)}}\]
2) The hydrolysis of ethyl acetate occurs using dilute sulphuric acid as a catalyst.
\[\ce{CH3COOC2H5_{(l)} + H2O_{(l)} ->[H+_{ (aq)}] CH3COOH_{(l)} + C2H5OH_{(l)}}\]
