"Help. Sulphuric Acid essay."

I need to know (in detail), how Sulphuric Acid H2SO4) is made, and three ways it is used industrially. Anyone who knows a good site, link here, please.

Urjunt.

H2SO4

SO=Sulpher Oxide
H=Hydrogen or Hydroxide

H=Valency of 2
S0=Valency of 4

HS0= Hydrogen+Sulpher+Oxygen
SO=Oxide which means it would have to be burnt.

H2SO4 can be formed when when Hydrogen and Suplher are burnt and/ or let off oxygen.

Kinda simple.

Step 1 Sulphur Burning.

S(l) + O2(g) -> SO2(g)

Molten sulphur is sprayed into a furnace and burned in a blast of dry air to produce sulphur dioxide. The emerging gas mixture containing about 10% each of sulphur dioxide and oxygen by volume, needs to be cooled from over 1000ºC to nearer 400ºC for the next step.

Step 2 Sulphur Dioxide Conversion

SO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) <-> SO3(g)

In the converter, sulphur dioxide combines with oxygen at about 450ºC with vanadium (5) Oxide to produce sulphur trioxide.

Step 3 Sulphur Trioxide absorption

SO3(g) + H2O(l) -> H2SO4(l)

Sulphur trioxide is absorbed in 98% sulphuric acid at 100-150ºC and the concentration of the acid is maintained by the addition of water. Water alone is not used for absorption since it reacts so quickly that it forms a stable mist of sulphuric acid. This cannot be condensed and would cause extensive pollution. Since this process involves exothermic reactions, water is turned into steam for use elsewhere in the plant.

Go on give the answer anyway, I am interested now.

I could have given you the exact answer.

Oh well, i arrived too late.

Its quite all right. ;)

Just need to write it in my own words, now.
