Answer
A: 2ZnS + 3O2 ⟶ 2ZnO + 2SO2
Explanation : Zinc sulphide is heated in the presence of excess air to produce zinc oxide and sulphur dioxide.
B:
Explanation : Sulphur dioxide reacts with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst (V2O5) at 450°C to form sulphur trioxide.
C: SO3 + H2SO4 ⟶ H2S2O7
Explanation : Sulphur trioxide is absorbed in concentrated sulphuric acid to produce pyrosulphuric acid (Oleum).
D: H2S2O7 + H2O ⟶ 2H2SO4
Explanation : Oleum is diluted with a calculated amount of water to obtain concentrated sulphuric acid.
E: Zn + H2SO4 ⟶ ZnSO4 + H2 ↑
Explanation : Since the arrow for "E" is open-ended, it typically refers to a common reaction of H2SO4, such as its reaction with a metal (like Zinc) to form a salt and hydrogen gas.
