Question:

During the commercial preparation of sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen in an exothermic reaction to produce sulfur trioxide. In this step, sulfur dioxide mixed with oxygen-enriched air passes into a reaction tower at about 420oC, where reaction occurs on a vanadium(V) oxide catalyst. Discuss the conditions used in this reaction in terms of its effect on the yield of sulfur trioxide. Are there any other conditions that you might explore in order to increase the yield of sulfur trioxide?
