Question
Chapter 24, Problem 60QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Frasch process, which is used for obtaining sulfur, is to be described.
Concept introduction:
Sulfur is readily available because of its presence in nature in its elemental form.
There are several allotropes of sulfur, the most important are rhombic and monoclinic form.
Rhombic sulfur is
Sulfur is present widely in gypsum, and in minerals, such as pyrite.
Sulfur is extracted from the deposits of underground by using the Frasch process.
