Question

(i) The oxidizing action of conc. Sulphuric acid on Carbon.

(ii) The behavior of H₂SO₄ as an acid when it reacts with Magnesium.

(iii) The dehydrating property of conc. Sulphuric acid with sugar.

Accepted Answer

(i) C + 2H 2 SO 4 (conc.) ⟶ CO 2 + 2SO 2 + 2H 2 O (ii) Mg + H 2 SO 4 (dil.) ⟶ MgSO 4 + H 2 (g) (iii) $	ext{C}_{12}	ext{H}_{22}	ext{O}_{11}\xrightarrow{	ext{Conc. H}_2	ext{SO}_4} 	ext{12C} \small{\space[sugar\space charcoal]} + 	ext{11H}_2	ext{O}$
