In the preparation of `H_(2)SO_(4)` by Contact process, why is `SO_(3)` not absorbed directly in water to form `H_(2)SO_(4)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The process of dissolution of `SO_(3)` in water is so highly exothermic that the acid formed is in the form of thick vapours. These are released as fog. It is of poisonous nature and pollutes the atmosphere.
