Question
Give reason for the following:
In the contact process, sulphur dioxide is dissolved in 98% sulphuric acid and not in water.
Solution
In contant process sulphur trioxide formed is dissolved in sulphuric acid and not water because sulphur trioxide when directly dissolved in water gives highly exothermic reaction.
