Hot conc. H 2 SO 4 acts as moderately strong oxidising agent. It oxidises both metals and nonmetals. Which of the following element is oxidised by conc. H 2 SO 4 into two gaseous products?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

H₂SO₄H₂O + SO₂

C + 2O₂CO₂

And the net reaction is obtained by multiplying reaction 1 by 2.

Addition of reaction 1 and reaction 2

C + 2H₂SO₄CO₂ + 2SO₂ + 2H₂O

The gaseous product formed during the oxidation of carbon by H₂SO₄ are:

CO₂ AND SO₂.

Hence the correct option is (iii)
