Describe the manufacture of H2SO4 by contact process?
Preparation of sulphuric acid:By Contact Process: Burning of sulphur or sulphide ores in presence of oxygen to produce SO2. Catalytic oxidation of SO2 with O2to give SO3 in the presence of V2O5.
Then SO3 made to react with sulphuric acid of suitable normality to obtain a thick oily liquid called oleum.
Then oleum is diluted to obtain sulphuric acid of desired concentration.
The sulphuric acid obtained by contact process is 96-98% pure
Assertion (A): Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S8 but oxygen exists as OÏ€.
Reason (R): Oxygen forms pπ-pπ multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but pπ-pπ bonding is not possible in sulphur.
In the preparation of H2S06 by contact process, why is S03 not absorbed directly in water to form H2S04?
Why is nitric oxide paramagnetic in gaseous state but the solid obtained on cooling is diamagnetic?
Assertion (A): NaCl reacts with concentrated H2SO4 to give colourless fumes with pungent smell. But on adding MnO2 the fumes become greenish yellow.
Reason (R): MnO2 oxidises HCl to chlorine gas which is greenish yellow.
Which of the following statements are true?
