The stages involved in the Contact process can be represented by the
following equations:
Stage 1 S+O2----->SO2
Stage 2 2SO2+O2----->2SO3(reversible)
Stage 3 SO3+H2SO4----->H2S2O7
Stage 4 H2S2O7+H2O----->2H2SO4
If 8.00 kg of sulphur are used in stage 1,
b) what is the mass of sulphuric acid produced?
I have some problems in the solution on P.54.It said that 'We can
represent the whole process for the production of sulphuric acid by
the following equation: S----->H2SO4(not a balanced chemical
equation)'
Why S----->H2SO4,not S----->2H2SO4?If I use S----->2H2SO4,will I
calculate the wrong thing?
