Name the process used for the large scale manufacture of sulfuric acid?

Open in App

Solution

Contact process is used to manufacture large-scale sulfuric acid.
In this process there are several steps :
$S (s) + O_{2} (g) \to {SO}_{2} (g) 2 {SO}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 {SO}_{3} (g) {SO}_{3} (g) + H_{2} {SO}_{4} (aq) \to H_{2} S_{2} O_{7} (l) H_{2} S_{2} O_{7} (l) + H_{2} O (l) \to 2 H_{2} {SO}_{4} (aq)$
