You're on a roll — Step 1: Answer part a). The raw materials for the industrial manufacture of sulfuric acid (Contact Process) are sulfur and oxygen. U: Sulphur V: Oxygen Step 2: Answer part b). In the combustion chamber, sulfur reacts with oxygen. S(s) + O_2(g) → SO_2(g) The product formed is Sulphur dioxide. Step 3: Answer part c) i). The reaction taking place in the contact chamber is the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide. 2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) 2SO_3(g) Step 4: Answer part c) ii). The catalyst used in the contact chamber for the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide is Vanadium(V) oxide (V_2O_5). Step 5: Answer part c) iii). In the absorption tower, sulfur trioxide is absorbed in concentrated sulfuric acid to form oleum. SO_3(g) + H_2SO_4(l) → H_2S_2O_7(l) The compound formed in the absorption tower is Oleum (H_2S_2O_7). Step 6: Answer part d). When carbon burns in limited oxygen, it forms carbon monoxide. 2C(s) + O_2(g) → 2CO(g) The colourless, odourless gas formed is Carbon monoxide (CO). What's next?
