Talk:Contact process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Contact process of manufacturing of sulfuric acid in the industries.
What is H2S2O7?
[edit] Incorrect?
Every textbook I've ever read has referred to the Contact Process as just the reversible reaction producing sulphur trioxide from sulphur dioxide and oxygen, not the entire process of the production of sulphur. I know article kind of gets this across, but the first line, "The contact process is the current method of producing sulphuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes" is misleading. Perhaps a re-write is in order here. Liverpool Scouse 11:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IUPAC spelling
The standard for spelling of sulfur in science article is sulfur.
- In the interest of consistency and clarity the IUPAC standard should be used for chemical names in all science articles. Alternative spellings should be referenced in addition, especially when dealing with regional issues and historical development.
- The IUPAC currently recommends:
- Aluminium instead of aluminum
- Caesium instead of cesium
- Sulfur instead of sulphur

[edit] A correction
Hey, I was never good at chem, but every textbook I have read says that a catalyst does not change the position of equilibrium. But the article says "A catalyst is necessary for this reaction or the equilibrium of the reaction would move to the left, producing more SO2." I think this is wrong, but just to make sure, I am posting this in discussions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.199.207.3 (talk) 16:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC).
