(a) Equilibrium constant (Kc) =
(b) The reaction profile; 2SO + O 2SO
(c)(i) (i) Increase in temperature low of SO because the contact proc Decrease in temperature favour E more SO.
(ii) Increase in pressure favour the more production of SO because of moles is present in the prod reactant side of the overall read process.
(iii) Removal of some of the SO produced will favour the forward flow of the Chatelier's principle about Equilibrium
(iv) Presence of VO, it acts as a fasten the more production SO temperature.
(d) Step I: 2SO + O 2SO (Contact process)
Step II: HSO + SO 2HSO Oleum fuming liquid conc
Step III: HSO + 2HO 2HSO tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid
(ii) Tetraoxosulphate (IV) acid can be used for the manufacture of paints and pigment. It can also be used for making detergents and soap.
