Question

State whether the following statements are true or false. Rewrite the false statements correctly.

Sulphuric acid is formed when sulphur oxide is dissolved in water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Preparation of sulphuric acid -

• Sulphur trioxide when dissolved in water produces sulphuric acid.
• Industrially sulphuric acid is produced by the contact process.

Reaction -

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{SO}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\to {\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{l}\right) \\ (\mathrm{Sulphur}(\mathrm{Water})(\mathrm{Sulphuric}\mathrm{acid}\left) \\ \mathrm{trioxide}\right) \end{gathered}$$

Correct statement - Sulphuric acid is formed when sulphur trioxide is dissolved in water.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
