Solution

Dear Student,

Iron react with concentrated sulphuric acid and gives ferrous sulphate, ferric sulphate, water and sulphur dioxide.

Reaction : 3Fe + 8H₂SO₄ ----> FeSO₄ + Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 4SO₂+ 8H₂O

Concentrated sulphuric acid act as oxidising agent and results in the formation of ferric sulphate in which iron is present in +3 oxidation state.
