    \[2Ag+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\to A{{g}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+S{{O}_{2}}\] In the above reaction\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]acts as a:

    A)  catalyst

    B)  oxidising agent

    C)  reducing agent

    D)  acid as well as oxidant

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[2Ag+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}A{{g}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[+2{{H}_{2}}O+S{{O}_{2}}\] Here\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]acts as an acid because its oxidation number is + 6 in\[A{{g}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]. It also acts as an oxidant because\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]gives\[S{{O}_{2}}\] \[\overset{+6}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\overset{+4}{\mathop{S{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]
