N2O4 Catalyzed oxidation of Dimethyl sulfide in vapor phase to Dimethyl sulfoxide is an explosive reaction. Is the statement true/false? Correct Answer True

The statement is true, hence to avoid explosion Dimethyl sulfide in Dimethyl sulfoxide solution is oxidized in liquid phase in presence of mixture of nitrogen monoxide and oxygen. Due to presence of excess DMSO process is controlled.
