What is sulphuric acid reducing to what?
Q.(e). Reducing property of sulphuric acid is used.
The solution is as follows:
1. Sulphuric acid is reduced to form Sulphur dioxide and Hydrogen sulphide is oxidised to form sulphur element.
2. This is as shown below:
H2SO4(conc) + H2S(g) 2 H2O (l) + 2S (s) + SO2(g)
+6 -2 0 +4
Thus, sulphuric acid is oxidising in nature.
