bi. Write an equation for the burning of sulphur in air.
ii. Name the catalyst used in the contact process.
iii. In the contact process, why is an excess of air used?
iv. Why is it necessary to cool the catalyst used in 5(b)(ii)?
v. Give a reason why the air used in the contact process needs to be as clean as possible.
vi. State two reasons why SO2 should not be discharged into the atmosphere.
ci. State the reagents and conditions used in the laboratory preparation of chlorine.

ai. Iron dissolves readily in dilute \(H_2SO_4\) liberating hydrogen and forming \(FeSO_4\) while with Aluminum there is no reaction.
ii. With aluminum there is no reaction(1)while iron dissolves in dilute \(HNO_3\) liberating hydrogen and forming \(Fe(NO_3)_2\)
bi. \(S+O_2→SO_2\)
ii. Vanadium(V) oxide/ platinized asbestos.
iii. To favour the formation of more product/\(SO_3\).
