Sulfur is an important element. Explain how burning fossil fuels containing sulfur leads to the formation of acid rain. Sulfuricacid is manufactured by the Contact process. One step in the Contact process involves a reversible reaction in which sulfur trioxide, SO3, is formed. Write a chemical equation for this reversible reaction. Include the correct symbol to show that the reaction is reversible. State the conditions and name the catalyst used in this reversible reaction. temperature pressure catalyst  Describe how the sulfurtrioxide formed is converted into sulfuricacid in the next steps of the Contact process. Dilute sulfuricacid is used to make salts known as sulfates. A method consisting of three steps is used to make zincsulfate from zinccarbonate. step 1 Add an excess of zinccarbonate to 20 cm3 of 0.4 mol / dm3 dilute sulfuricacid until the reaction is complete. step 2 Filter the mixture. step 3 Heat the filtrate until a saturated solution forms and then allow it to crystallise. Name a suitable piece of apparatus for measuring 20 cm3 of dilute sulfuricacid in step1. State two observations which would show that the reaction is complete in step1.  Why is it important to add an excess of zinccarbonate in step1? What is meant by the term saturated solution in step3? The equation for the reaction is shown. ZnCO3+ H2SO4ZnSO4( ) + H2O+ CO2Complete the equation by inserting the state symbol for zincsulfate. Name another zinc compound which could be used to make zinc sulfate from dilute sulfuricacid using this method. Suggest why this method would not work to make bariumsulfate from bariumcarbonate and dilute sulfuricacid. In a titration, a student added 25.0 cm3 of 0.200 mol / dm3 aqueous sodium hydroxide to a conicalflask. The student then added a few drops of methylorange to the solution in the conicalflask. Dilute sulfuricacid was then added from a burette to the conical flask. The volume of dilute sulfuricacid needed to neutralise the aqueous sodiumhydroxide was 20.0 cm3. 2NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2H2O What was the colour of the methyl orange in the aqueous sodiumhydroxide? Determine the concentration of the dilute sulfuricacid in g / dm3. ● Calculate the number of moles of aqueous sodiumhydroxide added to the conical flask.  mol ● Calculate the number of moles of dilute sulfuricacid added from the burette.  mol ● Calculate the concentration of the dilute sulfuricacid in mol / dm3.  mol / dm3 ● Calculate the concentration of the dilute sulfuricacid in g / dm3.  g / dm3  Iron(sulfate decomposes when heated strongly. 2FeSO4Fe2O3+ SO2+ SO315.20 g of FeSO4was heated and formed 4.80 g of Fe2O3. [Mr, FeSO4 = 152; Mr, Fe2O3 = 160] Calculate the percentage yield for this reaction.  %
