Answer
(a) 4FeS2 + 11O2 ⟶ 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2
(b) Balanced chemical equation for formation of ‘B’
(c) Sulphuric acid is not obtained by directly reacting SO3 with water since sulphur trioxide does not dissolve in water satisfactorily and it gives a lot of heat and forms misty droplets of sulphuric acid. Hence, it is converted to oleum.
SO3 + H2SO4 (conc.) ⟶ H2S2O7 (oleum)
(d) C — Water (H2O)
(e) H2S2O7 + H2O ⟶ 2H2SO4
