Chamber process, also called Lead-chamber Process, method of producing sulfuric acid by oxidizing sulfur dioxide with moist air, using gaseous nitrogen oxides (nitric oxide) as catalysts, the reaction taking place primarily in a series of large, box like chambers of sheet lead.

Answer is C

2(SO2) + O2 --------------> 2(SO3)

So2 and o2 both are gase. So it's homogeneous.

And we use v2o5 as catalyst. So it's catalytic.

(V2o5 is solid but it's not part of the reaction its just a catalyst so it's not heterogeneous).

C is the answer. The lead chamber process is usually to prepare the sulphuric acid and the reactions which undergo in this process is an example of homogeneous catalysis.

Answer is C.

Chamber process is different from contact process. Chamber process uses nitrogen oxide (g) as catalyst.

Answer should be D because oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide using vanadium pentaoxide catalyst is a heterogeneous reaction as SO2, O2 & SO3 are gaseous while V2O5 is a solid material.
