Sulphuric acid is used as a catalyst in the_______________?
Correct answer: B. Alkylation of hydrocarbons
- A. Hydrogenation of oils
- B. Alkylation of hydrocarbons
- C. Gas phase oxidation of SO2 in chamber process
- D. None of these
Explanation
Sulphuric acid provides acidic sites that promote the formation of alkylated hydrocarbons from an olefin and an isoparaffin. It is therefore used as a catalyst in hydrocarbon alkylation, not in the chamber-process oxidation of SO2.
