Sulphuric acid is used in the manufacture of other acids due to its :
reactive nature
low melting point
non-volatile nature
oxidising nature
Sulphuric acid due to its non-volatile nature can be used to prepare other volatile acids.
Other acids cannot be used to prepare sulphuric acid due to the volatile nature of sulphuric acid
Give two balanced reactions of each type to show the following properties of sulphurric acid :
(a) Acidic nature, (b)Oxidising agent,
(c) Dehydrating nature, (d) Non- volatile nature.
Conc. sulphuric acid is used as a dehydrating agent due to its ___ nature.
Sulphuric acid is volatile by nature
(a) Name the process used for the large scale manufacture of sulphuric acid. (b) Which property of sulphuric acid accounts for its use as a dehydrating agent? (c) Concentrated sulphuric acid is both an oxidising agent and a non-volatile acid. Write one equation each to illustrate the properties of sulphuric acid mentioned above.
