4S8 Chemistry, Catholic High School, PJ (2010)
11. Contact Process: Stage 1
In the furnace, molten sulphur is burnt in dry air to produce
sulphur dioxide, SO2. The gas produced is purified and
cooled.
S(l) + O2(g) SO2(g)

12. Contact Process: Stage 2
In the converter, SO2 and excess oxygen gas, O2 are passed over a
few plates of vanadium (V) oxide, V2O5 catalyst at 450oC to produce
sulphur trioxide, SO3
2SO2(l) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

13. Contact Process: Stage 2
About 99.5% of the sulphur dioxide, SO2 is converted into sulphur
trioxide, SO3 through this reversible reaction.

4S8 Chemistry, Catholic High School, PJ (2010)
14. Contact Process: Stage 3
In the absorber, the sulphur trioxide, SO3 is first reacted with
concentrated sulphuric acid, H2SO4 to form a product called oleum,
H2S2O7.
SO3(g) + H2SO4(l) H2S2O7(l)

4S8 Chemistry, Catholic High School, PJ (2010)
15. Contact Process: Stage 3
The oleum, H2S2O7 is then diluted with water to produce
concentrated sulphuric acid, H2SO4 in large quantities.
H2S2O7(l)+ H2O(l) 2H2SO4(l)

19. FAQ 2
Why dont we increase the pressure in the converter? So we can
produce more sulphur trioxide per day?
2SO2(l) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
Answer: Yes, high pressure increases the rate of reaction, but it
cost very high also. So, the reaction is done at pressure close to
atmospheric pressure.

Stage 1, in furnace
**O2 = burning
S(l) + O2(g) SO2(g)
Stage 2, in converter
**O2 = passed over catalyst
2SO2(l) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
Catalyst: Vanadium (V) oxide
Temperature: 450oC
Stage 3, in absorber
SO3(g) + H2SO4(l) H2S2O7(l)
H2S2O7(l)+ H2O(l) 2H2SO4(l)

32. Metals are Malleable
There are some inperfections in the orderly arrangement of atoms in
metals that allow some empty space in between the atoms. When a
metal is knocked, atoms slide.

33. Alloy
Definition: A mixture of two or more elements with a certain fixed
composition in which the major component is a metal.
Properties of pure metals can be improved => stronger, harder,
resistant to sorrosion, have a better furnish and lustre.
