. In the converter of the contact process for the manufacture of H2SO4 the equilibrium conversion of SO2__________ (i) __________ with increase in temperature and __________ (ii) __________ with increase in the mole ratio of SO2 to air?

Question

Accepted Answer

(i) decreases (ii) increases. The reaction is exothermic, so increasing temperature shifts equilibrium left (decreases conversion). Increasing SO2/air ratio increases reactant concentration, shifting equilibrium right (increases conversion).
