In the manufacture of sulphuric acid by the contact process, sulphur trioxide is not directly dissolved in water. Why?

Answer»

Solution :`SO_(3)` reacts with water to FORM `H_(2)SO_(4)`, which is not EASILY condensed. It escapes in the atmosphere. It is, therefore, absorbed in conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` to from oleum which MAY be DILUTED to form `H_(2)SO_(4)`
