Catalyst used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid by chamber & contact processes are respectively ?

Correct answer: D. Oxides of nitrogen & V2O5 on a porous carrier

  • A. V2O5 & Cr2O3.
  • B. Oxides of nitrogen & Cr2O3
  • C. V2O5 on a porous carrier & oxides of nitrogen
  • D. Oxides of nitrogen & V2O5 on a porous carrier

Explanation

The chamber process uses oxides of nitrogen to promote oxidation of sulphur dioxide, whereas the contact process uses vanadium pentoxide supported on a porous carrier. Therefore, the catalysts are listed in option d.
