    Hot cone. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] acts as moderately strong oxidizing agent. It oxidises both metals and non-metals. Which of the following element is oxidised by cone. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] in to two gaseous products?

    A) Cu                   

    B) S

    C) C                     

    D) Zn

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] is a moderately strong oxidising agent which oxidises both metals and non-metals as shown below \[Cu+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(conc.)\to CuS{{O}_{4}}+S{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]\[S+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(conc.)\to 3S{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\] While carbon on oxidation with \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]produces two types of oxides \[C{{O}_{2}}\]and\[S{{O}_{2}}\]. \[C+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(conc.)\to C{{O}_{2}}+2S{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
