Chapter 16, Problem 7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the catalyst increases the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to manufacture sulfuric acid in contact process is to be stated. The explanation for the corresponding answer is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In contact process, a metal is used as a catalyst. The metal catalyst adsorbs the gas on its surface and makes the orientation of the gas molecules more available for effective collision. Therefore, catalyst only speeds up the reaction.
