The reaction
is the last step in the commercial production of sulfuric acid. The enthalpy change for this reaction is −227 kJ. In designing a sulfuric acid plant, is it necessary to provide for heating or cooling of the reaction mixture? Explain.
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The requirement of heating or cooling process in the production of sulfuric acid plant should be explained in the thermo chemical view.
Concept Introduction:
Exothermic reaction:
During the chemical reaction releases heat or light energy to the surrounding means it is called as an exothermic reaction.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
Enthalpy change is
- The enthalpy change of reaction is in negative, it is an exothermic reaction.
- The enthalpy change of reaction is in positive, it is an endothermic reaction.
The sulfuric acid production reaction is:
