Assertion:Low temperature and high pressure are the favourable conditions for the maximum yield of sulphuric acid.
Reason:The reaction of with
to give
is endothermic, reversible and the backward reaction.
A
B
C
D
The main step in the manufacture of is the catalytic oxidation of
with
to give
in the presence of
and the reaction is exothermic, reversible and the forward reaction leads to decrease in volume and hence, low temperature and high pressure are the favourable conditions for the maximum yield.
