Oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is favored by low temperature and high pressure.

Gun powder, which is an explosive comprises of charcoal, sulphur and salt petre. Starting raw material for the manufacture of alum is Gypsum. Salt cake is chemically represented by Na2SO4. Calgon used in water treatment is chemically sodium hexametaphosphate. Drying oil oil is preferred for paint manufacture. Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic polymer. Paper pulp produced by kraft/sulphate process is strong fibrous. Claude process of gas liquefaction employs adiabatic expansion against a piston or in a turbine. The gasification reaction represented by, C + H2O = CO + H2, is a/an exothermic reaction. Viscose rayon is chemically regenerated cellulose acetate. Cumene is the starting material for the production of phenol and acetone. The type of high refractive index glass used in optical instruments is flint glass. Oxidation of ortho-xylene in presence of vanadium catalyst is done to produce phthalic anhydride on commercial scale. Most commonly used rubber vulcanising agent is sulphur. Terylene is same as Dacron and polyester. All enzymes are made of proteins. Styrene is produced from ethyl benzene by the process of dehydrogenation. Gelatine which is a nitrogenous organic protein is obtained by the hydrolysis of collagen. Dehydrogenation of isopropanol produces acetone. Eosin requirement in tallow soap is about 40-50% which fastens the lather formation, softens the hard soaps and increases its cleansing action. Soap powder is prepared by mixing soap with hydrated sodium carbonate. Concentration of hydrogen peroxide is done by vacuum crystallization. Helium is produced on commercial scale from natural gas. Fusel oil is a/an mixture of higher molecular weight alcohols (a by-product obtained during production of alcohol from molasses). Styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) as compared to natural rubber hasPoorer tensile strength.

poorer resistance to oxidation. greater amount of heat build-up under heavy loading.

Co-efficient of thermal expansion of glass is decreased by the addition of ZnO during its manufacture. The catalyst used in the manufacture of DDT (from chloral and chlorobenzene) is Oleum (20%). ZnO is used as a catalyst in fat splitting. Haemoglobin is a/an Protein. Epoxy resin is a good adhesive. Heating of Gypsum to 120C, produces plaster of paris. The chemical formula of oleum is H2S2O7, which is formed by saturating sulphuric acid with sulphur trioxide. Vitriol oil is nothing but technical sulphuric acid. Wood charcoal is used for decolouration of sugar, because it adsorbs the coloured materials. Producer gas mainly consists of CO, CO2 N2, H2 Neoprene is the trade name of Polychloroprene.
