    Platinised asbestos helps in the formation of \[S{{O}_{3}}\] form \[S{{O}_{2}}\] and \[{{O}_{2}}\]. But, if even a small amount of \[A{{s}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] is present the platinised asbestos does not help in the formation of \[S{{O}_{3}}\]. \[A{{s}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] acts here as         [MP PMT 1997]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

      \[2S{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\underset{A{{s}_{2}}{{S}_{3}}(\text{Poison})}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Platinised}\,\text{asbestos(catalyst})}}}\,2S{{O}_{3}}\]
