Read the given statements and select the correct option:
Statement 1. In contact process, absorption of in
to give Oleum
.
Statement 2. The key step in the manufacture of sulphuric acid is the catalytic oxidation of with
to give
in the presence of catalyst
.
Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct.
Both statements are correct.
Both statements are incorrect.
Contact process involves three main steps:First burning of sulphur or sulphide ores in air to generate and then conversion of
to
by the reaction with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst
and finally the absorption of
in
to give oleum and the catalytic oxidation of
with
to give
in the presence of catalys
is the key step in the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
