Chapter 9 Manufacture Substances in Industry
Sulphuric Acid (H4SO4)
USES OF SULPHURIC ACID
Produce chemical fertilizer (NH4)2SO4& K2SO4. Soluble in water & can beabsorbed by plant.
Car batteries is used as the electrolyte.
Used in the making of artificial silk-like fibres & rayon.
Chemical like paints, dyes & drug as one of their component materials.
MANUFACTURE OF SULPHURIC ACID
Sulphuric acid is manufactured in industry through contact process The process contain 3 stage
STAGE1:Production Of Sulphur Dioxide from Sulphur
i. Combustion of sulphur or sulphide ores in the air produce sulphur dioxide SO2.
S(s)+O2(g) SO2(g)sulphur
ii. Sulphur dioxide is dried and purified.
STAGE2: Production Of Sulphur Trioxide From Sulphur Dioxide
i. The purified sulphur dioxide SO2 and excess air are passed over vanadium(V)oxide V2O5 at controlled optimum condition optimum condition to producesulphur trioxide SO3.
2SO2(g)+O2(g) 2SO3(g)
ii. The optimum used area) Temperature:450-500Cb) Pressure: 2-3 atmospheresc) Catalyst: Vanadium(V) oxide
iii. Under controlled optimum conditions, 98% conversion is possible. Sulphur dioxide& oxygen that have not reacted are allowed to flow back again over the catalystin the converter.

STAGE3: Conversion of trioxide to sulphuric acid
i. Sulphur trioxide SO2 is dissolved in concentrated sulphuric acid H2SO4 to formoleum H2S2O7 which is then diluted with water to form sulphuric acid H2SO4.
SO3(g)+H2SO4(l) H2S2O7(l) Oleum
H2S2O7(l)+ H2O(l) 2H2SO4(aq)
ii. The 2 reactions are equivalent to adding sulphur trioxide directly into H2O.
SO3(g)+H2O(l) H2SO4(aq)
iii. The addition of sulphur trioxide directly into is not carried out because thereaction is vary vigorous/a lot of heat is given off. As a result, a large cloud of
sulphuric acid fumes is produced, which is corrosive and causes air pollution.

MANUFACTURE OF AMMONIA IN INDUSTRY
Manufacture on a large scale through the haber process. In this process, ammonia is formed form direct combination of nitrogen &
hydrogen gas in the volume ratio 1:3.
The gas nitrogen obtain form the fractional distillation of liquefied air. Thehydrogen gas is obtained form the cracking of petroleum/from the catalysedreaction of natural gas, CH4, with steam.
CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)
The mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen gases is passed over an iron catalyst
under controlled optimum condition as below to form ammonia gas.
Temperature: 450-500C
Pressure: 200-500 atmospheres
Catalyst used: Iron fillings
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
Under these control optimum condition, only 15% of the gas mixture turn into
ammonia gas. The nitrogen and hydrogen that have not reacted are then flowback over the catalyst again in the reactor chamber.
The ammonia product is then cooled at a low temperature so that it condensesinto a liquid in the cooling chamber.

AMMONIUM FERTILIZERS
1. Nitrogen is required in large amount by plant to make proteins which arenecessary for growth and cell repair.
2. Most plant are not able to get a nitrogen supply directly from the air althoughit is abundant in the air (78%). Plants can only absorb soluble nitrogencompounds from soil through their roots.
3. The nitrogen compounds are usually soluble nitric salt, ammonia and ammoniasalt which are manufacture as chemical fertilizer.
4. Reactions of ammonia with acids produce ammonium fertilizers.

2. The forces of attraction between atoms (metallic bonds) are strong. More heatenergy is needed to overcome the metallic bond so that the atoms are furtherapart during the melting. This is why metals usually have hight melting point.
3. Heat energy can be transferred easily from one atom to the next by vibration.This make metal good conduct of heat.
4. The freely moving outermost electrons within the metals structure are able to
conduct electricity. Metal are, therefore, good electrical conductors.
5. Since atoms of pure metal are of the same size, they are arranged orderly in aregular layered pattern. When a force is applied to metal, layer of atom slideeasily over one another. This make pure metals soft, malleable and ductile.
Pure metal = too soft, low resistance to corrosion, rush & tarnish easily.
Improve the physical properties of metal, a small amount of another element(usually metal) is added to form another an alloy.
An alloy = mixture of two/more metals (non-metal) in a specific proportion.
For example:a. Bronze (90% of copper and 10% of tin)b. Steel (99% of iron and 1% of carbon)
The purposes of making alloys include the following:a) Increase the strengthi. Pure iron= soft and vary malleable. A small amount of carbon is added to
iron steal is formed. The more carbon is added, the stronger the steel
becomes.

ii. Pure aluminium is light but not strong. A small amount of copper &magnesium are added to aluminium, a strong, light & durable alloy call
duralumin is produced.b)Improving the resistance to corrosion
i. Iron rust easily but stainless steel which contains 80.6% of iron, 0.4% of
carbon, 18% of chromium & 1% of nickel does not rush. These propertiesmake stainless steel suitable for making surgical instrument and cutlery.
ii. Pure copper tarnish easily. When zinc (30%) is added, the yellow alloywhich is known as brass develops a high resistance to corrosion.
c)Enhancing the appearance
i. Pewter, an alloy of tin (97%), antimony and copper is not only hard but alsohas a more beautiful white silvery appearance.
ii. When copper is mixed with nickel to form cupronickel, an alloy that has anattractive silvery, bright appearance is formed which is suitable formaking coins.

2. Some common composite materials are:
a.Reinforces concreteb.Superconductorc.Fibre optic
d.Fibre glasse.Photochromic glass
Reinforces Concrete
1. Concrete is hard, fireproof, waterproof, comparatively cheap and easy tomaintain. It is more important construction materials.
2. The reinforces is a combination of concrete and steel.
Supercondutors1. Metal such as copper and aluminium are good conductor of electricity, but 20% of
the electric energy is lost in the form of heat during transmission.2. Super conductor are materials that have no resistance to the flow of electricity
at a particular temperature. Hence, 100% electricity transmission is possible.3. One of the most dramatic properties of a superconductor is its ability to levitate
a magnet. Superconductor are used to build magnetically levitate high-speed train(at about 552 km/h).
4. Superconductor are used to make chips for smaller and faster supercomputer.Superconductor also play an important role in high speed data processing ininternet communication.
