Mention the favourable conditions for the manufacture of sulphuric acid by contact process.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To manufacture sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) using the contact process, several favorable conditions must be established to optimize the reaction and yield. Here’s a step-by-step solution outlining these conditions: ### Step 1: Temperature - **Favorable Condition**: The reaction should be conducted at a temperature of around **720 Kelvin**. - **Reason**: This temperature is optimal for the conversion of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) to sulfur trioxide (SO₃), which is a key step in the production of sulfuric acid. Higher temperatures may favor the reverse reaction, reducing yield. ### Step 2: Pressure - **Favorable Condition**: The process should be carried out at a pressure of approximately **2 bar**. ...
