Sulphuric acid is manufactured by Contact process : Why H_2SO_4 is not obtained by directly reacting SO_3 with water ?

Explain the following giving suitable reasons: In the manufacture of H_2SO_4 by contact process: For the production of concentrated sulphuric acid, SO_3 is not directly dissolved in water.

Explain the following giving suitable reasons: In the manufacture of H_2SO_4 by contact process: For the dilution of sulphuric acid, water is not added to the acid but acid is added to water.

(a) Write balanced equations for the following reactions : (i) Chlorine reacts with dry slacked lime. (ii) Carbon reacts with concentrated H_2SO_4 . (b) Describe the contact process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid with special referecen to the reaction conditions, catalysts used and the yields in the process.

A : Dissolution of concentrated H_(2)SO_(4) in water is highly exothermic process . R : Sulphuric acid is always diluted by adding acid to water slowly .

Estimation of nitrogen: There are two methods for the estimation of nitrogen (i) Dumas method and (ii) Kjedahl's method. i. Dumas method: A known mass of compound is heated with copper oxide (CuO) in an atomsphere of CO_(2) , which gives free nitrogen along with CO_(2) and H_(2)O C_(x)H_(y)N_(z) + (2x + y//2) CuO rarr xCO_(2) + y//2 (H_(2)O) + z//2 (N_(2)) + (2x + y//2) CU The gaseous mixture is passed over a heated copper gauze which converts traces of nitrogen oxides formed to N_(2) . The gaeous mixture is collected over an aqueous solution of KOH which absorbs CO_(2) , and nitrogen is callected in the upper part of the graduated tube. ii. Kjeldahl's method: A known mass of organic compound (0.5 gm) is mixed with K_(2)SO_(4) (10 gm) and CuSO_(4) . (1.0 gm) or a drop of mercury (Hg) and conc. H_(2)SO_(4) (25ml), and heated in Kjeldahl's flask. CuSO_(4) or Hg acts as a catalyst, while K_(2)SO_(4) raises the boiling point of H_(2)SO_(4) . The nitrogen in the organic compound is quantitatively converted to ammonium sulphate. The resulting mixture is then distilled with excess of NaOH solution and the NH_(3) evolved is passed into a known but excess volume of standard HCl or H_(2)SO_(4) . The acid left unused is estimated by titration with some standard alkali. The amount of acid used against NH_(3) can be thus be known and from this the percentage of nitrogen is calculated. (a) C + H + S underset(H_(2)SO_(4))overset("conc.")rarr CO_(2) + H_(2)O + SO_(2) (b) N underset(H_(2)SO_(4))overset("conc.")rarr (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) (c) (NH_(4))_(2) SO_(4) + 2NaOH rarr Na_(2)SO_(4) + 2NH_(3) + 2H_(2)O (d) 2NH_(3) + H_(2)SO_(4) rarr (NH_(4))_(2) SO_(4) (iii) This method is not applicable to compounds containing N in intro and azo groups, and N present in the ring (e.g., pyridine) as N of these compounds does not change to (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) (ammonium sulphate) under these reaction conditions 0.002 gm of an organic compound was treated according to Kjeldahl's method. 0.2 xx 10^(-4) mol of H_(2)SO_(4) was required to neutralise NH_(3) . Calculate the percentage of N_(2)

An alcohol A, when heated with conc. H_(2)SO_(4) gives an alkene B. When B is bubbled through bromine water and the product obtained is dehydrohalogenated with exccess of sodamide, a new compound C is obtained. The compound C gives D when treated with warm dilute H_(2)SO_(4) in the presence of HgSO_(4) . D can also be obtained either byh oxidising A with KMnO_(4) or form acetic acid through its calcium salt. Identify A, B, C, and D.

When a crystalline compound X is heated with K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) and concentrated H_(2)SO_(4) , a reddish brown gas A is evolved. On passing A into caustic soda, a yellow solution of B is formed. A yellow precipitate of C is obtained when a solution B is neutralised with acetic acid and then treated with a lead acetate solution. when X is heated with NaOH , a colourless gas is evolved which, when passed into a solution of K_(2)[HgI_(4)] , gives a reddish brown precipitate of D. ltBrgt Q. Compound (X) is:

Explain the following giving suitable reasons: In the manufacture of H_2SO_4 by contact process: The impurity of arsenic oxide must be removed before passing the mixture of SO_2 and air through the catalytic chamber.
