Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion 2NaCl+H2SO4⟶2HCl+Na2SO4
Sulphuric acid is widely used to prepare more volatile acids. This is because H2SO4 is low volatile, hence it is used to manufacture more volatile acids from their corresponding salts.
