3.1:Sulphuric AcidManufacture of sulphuric acid

Contact process produces more than 90% of the world sulphuric acid.

Raw materials used for the manufacture of sulphuric acid :- sulphur air water.

Contact process consists of 3 stages:

~ Production of sulphur dioxide ~ Conversion of sulphur dioxide is sulphur trioxide. ~ Production of sulphuric acid

Stage I: Production of sulphur dioxide

(a)Sulphur is burnt in air to produce sulphur dioxide. S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g)

(b)Burning of metal sulphides such as zinc sulphide and lead sulphide also produces sulphur dioxide. 2ZnS(s) + 3O2(g) 2SO2(g) + 2ZnO(s) 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) 2SO2(g) + 2PbO(s)

(c)The sulphur dioxide is then mixed with excess air.The mixture is dried and purified to remove impurities such as arsenic compounds.

(d)Arsenic compounds found in sulphur will poison the catalyst in the converter, making the catalyst ineffective.

Page 6: PEKA Chemistry

Stage II: Conversion of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide

(a)The mixture of sulphur dioxide and excess oxygen is passed through a converter.The sulphur dioxide is oxidised to sulphur trioxide.

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

(b)Optimum conditions used are as follows. (i) Temperature : 450°C (ii) Pressure : 1 atmosphere (iii) Catalyst : Vanadium(V) oxide,V2O5

(c)About 97% conversion occurs under these optimum conditions.

Stage III : Production of sulphuric acid

(a) The sulphur trioxide is first dissolved in concentrated sulphuric acid to form a product called oleum, H2S2O7

SO3(g) + H2SO4(aq) H2S2O7(l)

(b) Sulphur trioxide is not dissolved in water to form sulphuric acid.This is because reaction between sulphur trioxide and water is very vigorous and produces a large amount of heat.The reaction causes the production of a large cloud of sulphuric acid mist.The mist is corrosive, pollutes the air and is difficult to condense.

(c) The oleum is then diluted with water to produce concentrated sulphuric acid of about 98%.

H2S2O7(l) + H2O(l) 2H2SO4(aq)

Uses of sulphuric acid

Sulphuric acid is used as:

to manufacture fertilisers

to manufacture paint pigment

to manufacture detergents

to manufacture synthetic fibre

to clean metals

to manufacture plastics

as an electrolyte in car batteries

to manufacture other chemicals

Page 9: PEKA Chemistry

There are many fertilizers that can be made of sulphuric acid. Some of them are: a) Calcium hydrogen phosphate (superphosphate)

b) Ammonium sulphate

c) Potassium sulphate

Other Uses

1) To manufacture paint pigmentsThe white pigment in paint is usually barium sulphate, BaSO4. The neutralization of sulphuric acid and barium hydroxide produces barium sulphate.

2) To manufacture detergentsSulphuric acid reacts with by-products of oil refining to form sulphonic acid.Neutralising the sulphonic acid with an alkali produces detergents.

3) To manufacture synthetic fibresSynthetic fibres are polymers ( long chain molecules). Rayon is an example of a fibre that is produced by the reaction of sulphuric acid eith cellulose threads soaked in

alkaline solution.

4) Cleaning metalsBefore electroplating,sulphuric acid is used for cleaning metals to remove the surface oxides.

5) Other chemicalsSulphuric acid is used as other chemicals like pharmaceuticals,insectides, tartaric acid and explosive.

2 H2SO4(aq) + Ca3(PO4) 2(s) → Ca(H2 PO4) 2 (aq)+ 2CaSO4 (s)

sulphuric acid + tricalcium phosphate → calcium hydrogen phosphate

H2SO4(aq) +2NH3(aq) → (NH4) 2SO4(aq)

sulphuric acid + aqueous ammonia → ammonium sulphate

H2SO4(aq) +2KOH (aq) → K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

sulphuric acid + potassium hydroxide solution→ Potassium sulphate

H2SO4(aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2H2O(l)

Page 10: PEKA Chemistry

6) The uses of sulphuric acid in school laboratories are:

As a strong acid As a drying or dehydrating agent As an oxidizing agent As a sulphonating agent As a catalyst

Manufacture of car batteries Manufacture of detergents Manufacture of fertilisers

Manufacture of paints Manufacture of plastic items Manufacture of pesticides

Page 11: PEKA Chemistry

The environmental pollution by the by-product of sulphuric acid

1) Sulphur dioxide is released through:-

(a) Burning of sulphur during Contact process(b) Extraction of some metals from their sulphides ores(c) Burning of coals or fuels with high sulphur content

2) Acid rain occurs when there is sulphurous acid,sulphuric acid and nitric acid in the rain.

These strong acids will cause the pH of rain to fall between 2.4 and 5.0

3) Sulphur dioxide accounts for most of the acid rain problems.(a) When sulphur dioxide dissolves in rainwater,sulphurous acid is formed

SO2(g) + H2O (l) H2SO3(aq) (b) Sulphur dioxide can react with oxygen and water to form sulphuric acid 2SO2(g) + O2(g) + 2H2O(l) 2H2SO4(aq)

Page 12: PEKA Chemistry

Ways to control and reduce the effects of acid rain:

Use low-sulphur fuels Add calcium oxide(lime), CaO; calcium hydroxide,Ca(OH)2 and powdered llimestone CaCO3 into the acidic lake or river to neutralize the acids present

CaO(s) + 2H (aq) Ca (aq) +H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(s) + 2H (aq) Ca (aq) + 2H2O(l) CaCO3(s) + 2H (aq) Ca (aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Page 13: PEKA Chemistry

3.2:Ammonia

Physical and chemicak properties of ammonia

Physical properties Colourless gas Pungent smell Alkaline gas Very soluble in water Less denser than air

Chemical reaction of ammonia:(a) Reacting as a base

Ammonia ionises partially in water and therefore is a weak base. NH3(g) + H2O(l) NH4 (aq) + OH (aq)

Ammonia undergoes neutralisation with acids to form ammonium salts. Ammonia + acid ammonium salt

(b) Reacting with aqueous metal ionsAmmonia solution can precipitate some metal hydroxides from their aqueous salt solutions.The metal ions combine with the hydroxide ions from aqueous ammonia to produce insoluble metal hydroxides : Mn (aq) + nOH (aq) M(OH)n(s)

Uses of ammonia

To make fertilisers- provide plants the nitrogen they need to grow- these fertilisers are ammonium salts obtained from the neutralization of

ammonia with different acids. Examples:(a) Ammonium phosphate

- reaction of ammonia with phosphoric acid produces ammonium phosphates NH3(aq) + H3PO(aq) NH4H2PO4(aq)2 NH3(aq) + H3PO(aq) (NH4)2HPO4(aq)- good fertilisers because they provide two important nutrients,phosphorus and

Page 14: PEKA Chemistry

nitrogen.

(b) Ammonium nitrate- ammonia is neutralised by nitric acid,ammonium nitrate is formed

NH3(aq) + HNO3(aq) NH4NO3(aq)

(c) Ammonium sulphate- ammonia is neutralised by sulphuric acid 2NH3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) (NH4)2SO4(aq)

(d) Urea- At a temperature of 200°C and a high pressure of 200 atm, ammonia reacts with carbon dioxide to produce urea. 2NH3(g) + CO2(g) CO(NH2)2(s) + H2O(l)

- used as a raw material for the manufacture of nitric acid in the Ostwad process.

- Liquid ammonia used as cooling agent- used as an alkali to prevent the coagulation of latex

Ammonia salts is used as smelling salts to revive people who have fainted

Preparation of ammonia

The chief commercial method of producing ammonia is by the Haber-Bosch process, which involves the direct reaction of elemental hydrogen and elemental nitrogen.N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3 This reaction requires the use of a catalyst, high pressure (100–1,000 atmospheres), and elevated temperature (400–550 °C [750–1020 °F]). Actually, the equilibrium between the elements and ammonia favours the formation of ammonia at low temperature, but high temperature is required to achieve a satisfactory rate of ammonia formation. Several different catalysts can be utilized. Normally the catalyst is iron containing iron oxide. However, both magnesium oxide on aluminum oxide that has been activated by alkali metal oxides and ruthenium on carbon have been employed as catalysts. In the laboratory, ammonia is best synthesized by the hydrolysis of a metal nitride.Mg3N2 + 6H2O → 2NH3 + 3Mg(OH)2

Manufacture of ammonia in industry Ammonia is manufactured in industries through Haber process.

Raw materials for the Haber process are (i)hydrogen (ii)nitrogen

Nitrogen gas is obtained from the fractional distillation of liquid air.

Page 15: PEKA Chemistry

Hydrogen gas is obtained by: (i)Reaction between methane from natural gas and steam CH4(g) + 2H2O(l) 4H2(g) + CO2(g) (ii)The reaction between heated coke and steam C(s) + H2O(l) H2(g) + CO(g)

The manufacture of ammonia,NH 3 through the Haber Process.

Nitrogen and hydrogen are mixed according to the ratio 1 mole N2 : 3 moles H2.

The mixture is compressed to 200 atm and heated to a temperature of about 450°C

The mixture is then passed through layers of heated iron catalyst in a reactor.Ammonia is produced.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) The reaction is reversible and the production of ammonia gives out heat.The

high pressure and iron catalyst speed up the rate of reaction.

The ammonia gas produced is liquefied ans separated to get a better yield.

Page 16: PEKA Chemistry

The unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled and passed back into the reactor together with the new source of nitrogen and hydrogen.About 98% of nitrogen and hydrogen are converted into ammonia.

Ammonium fertilisers

Plants need nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium to grow.

Nitrogen-make proteins in stalks and leaves

Nitrogen is absorbed by plants in the form of soluble nitrate ions, NO3-

Ammonium fertilisers contain ammonium ions.In the soil, the ammonium ions are converted to nitrate ions by bacteria

Examples of ammonium fertilisers:

Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3

Ammonium sulphate, (NH4)2SO4

Ammonium phosphate, (NH4)2HPO4

Urea,CO(NH2)2

Fertilisers that contain a high percentage of nitrogen are more effective.

Ammonium fertilisers can be prepared by reactions between ammonia solution and acids.

3.3:Alloys

What are alloys?

An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements with a certain fixed composition in which the major component is a metal.

Pure metals are normally soft and easily oxidised.This is the reason why monuments or statues are made of bronze(an alloy) and not copper(a pure metal).

Alloy are stronger,harder,resistant to corrosion,have a better finish and lustrous.

Why make alloys?

The aim of making alloy is:(a) to increase the strength and hardness of a pure metal(b) to increase the resistance to corrosion of a pure metal(c) to improve the appearance of a pure metal

3.4:Synthetic Polymers

What are polymers?

Polymers are large long-chain molecules formed by joining together many identical repeating sub-units called monomers.

Polymerisation is a process by which the monomers are joined together into chain-like molecule called polymer.

Formation of polymer Polymers can be divided into 2 types.

Natural PolymersNATURAL POLYMER MONOMER

Rubber Isoprene

Polymers

Natural PolymersExist in living things in natureEx:Protein,cellulose,wool,silk, starch,natural rubber & DNA

Synthetic PolymersThey are man-made in laboratory through chemical processes.Ex: Plastics, nylon

Page 21: PEKA Chemistry

Cellulose GlucoseStarch GlucoseProtein Amino acid

Fat Fatty acid and glycerolNucleic acid Nucleotides

Examples of natural polymers and their monomers

Synthetic Polymer

Synthetic polymers are prepared through 2 types of polymerisation processes: (a)Addition polymerisation (b)Condensation polymerisation

Addition polymerisation- involves monomers with double bonds between the carbon atoms.- During addition polymerisation, the double bonds between pairs of carbon atoms

break and the carbon atoms pf adjacent ethene molecules join together to form a molecule of poly or polythene.

Condensation polymerisation- involves the joining up of monomers with the formation of other smaller and

simple molecules.

Plastics

Plastics are the largest group of synthethic polymers with the following properties: (a)Can be easily moulded (b)Low density (c)Strong (d)Inert to chemicals (e)Insulator of heat and electricity (f)Can be colouName of polymer Equation for

Synthetic fibre

Synthetic fibre are long-chain polymers which are not easily stretched and have high strength.

Polynamides and polyester are two groups of synthetic polymers used as fibres for making tekstil.

Example of polynamide polymers is nylon. Example of polyester polymers is terylene. Nylon and terylene are produced through condensation polymerisation.

Page 23: PEKA Chemistry

The effect of the uses of synthetic polymers to our environment Synthetic polymers are not easily biodegradable,thus their waste will block or clog up

the drainage system,thereby causing flash flood. Waste plastics pollute the lake and river,making the water not suitable for aquatic

organisms to live in

Ways to solve the problems caused by the use of synthetic polymers(a) Reuse(b) Recycle(c) Use biodegradable synthetic polymer(d) Dispose of unwanted synthetic polymers in a proper manner.
