Answer»

The correct choice is (d) Conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide takes PLACE in the presence of VANADIUM CATALYST and it accounts for 70% world’s production

Easy EXPLANATION: Contact process:

Sulfur compounds such as copper sulfide are burned to get SO2

Catalytic conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide takes place

Absorption of SO3 into WATER produces sulfuric acid.
