Q

Why anodes have to be replaced regularly in electrolysis of aluminium oxide

A

Oxygen reacts with the carbon rods making carbon dioxide

17
Q

Haber process

A

N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3

Nitrogen obtained from liquid air through distillation
Hydrogen obtained from natural gas (CH4) or electrolysis of water.

IRON CATALYST USED

18
Q

Contact process

A

Stage 1: S(s) + O2(g) -> SO2(g)
Stage 2: 2SO2(s) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g)
Stage 3: SO3(g) + H2SO4(aq) -> H2S2O7(l) Oleum
H2S2O7(l) + H2O(l) -> 2H2SO4(aq)

19
Q

Batch production and continuous process

A

Batch production = low production rate
Continuous process = high relative cost of equipment
