PROPERTIES AND USES OF SULPHUR DIOXIDE
Property 1:-Sulphur dioxide bleaches coloured compounds by removing oxygen fromthem.

MANUFACTURE OF SULPHURIC ACID
Sulphuric acid is one of the most widely used. It is, after all, thecheapest and most readily available strong acid.
Sulphuric acid is manufactured by the Contact Process. This issummarized in the flow chart.
