Question
Give two balanced reactions of each type to show the following property of sulphuric acid:
Oxidising agent
Solution
- \[\ce{H2SO4}\] is an oxidising agent.
For example, it oxidises - Carbon to carbon dioxide
\[\ce{C_{(s)} + 2H2SO4 -> CO2_{(g)} + 2H2O_{(l)} + 2SO2}\] - Sulphur to sulphur dioxide
\[\ce{S_{(s)} + H2SO4 -> 3SO2){(g)} + 2H2O_{(l)}}\]
