Question

In comparison to water, which of these is true about sulphuric acid?

• A. Water has a higher boiling point than sulphuric acid.
• B. The melting point of sulphuric acid is higher than water.
• C. Both water and sulphuric acid are liquid at room temperature.
• D. The density of water is lower than that of sulphuric acid.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B The melting point of sulphuric acid is higher than water.
C Both water and sulphuric acid are liquid at room temperature.
D The density of water is lower than that of sulphuric acid.

The melting point of sulphuric acid is ${10}^{o}C$ whereas that of water is $0^{o}C$.
The boiling point of sulphuric acid is ${337}^{o}C$ which is greater than that of water(${100}^{o}C$).
The density of sulphuric acid is 1.87 $g/c{m}^3$ which is greater than that of water.
