Reaction for ___________ Flashcards
Contact process - (1)Production of sulphur dioxide by burning sulphur , iron pyrite
S(s) + O2 (g) → SO2(g)
4FeS2 + 11O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2
Contact process - (2)Catalytic oxidation of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g)
[V2O5][450-500°][1-2 atmos.]
Contact process -(3) Absorption of sulphur trioxide in 98% sulfuric acid to give oleum or pyrosulfuric acid
H2SO4 + SO3(g) → H2S2O7(l)
Contact process - (4)Dilution of oleum with calculated amount of soft water to give sulfuric acid of the desired concentration
H2S2O7(l) + H2O(l) → 2H2SO4
