Which of the following properties of $${{H_2}S{O_4}}$$ in respective reaction is wrong?
A
\[\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}CO+C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O;\] \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] acts as dehydrating agent.
B
$$Cu + 2{H_2}S{O_4} \to CuS{O_4} + 2{H_2}O + S{O_2};$$ $${{H_2}S{O_4}}$$ acts as oxidising agent.
C
$$N{a_2}S + {H_2}S{O_4} \to N{a_2}S{O_4} + {H_2}S;$$ $${{H_2}S{O_4}}$$ acts as an acid.
D
$$2HBr + {H_2}S{O_4} \to 2{H_2}O + S{O_2} + B{r_2};$$ $${{H_2}S{O_4}}$$ acts as reducing agent.
Answer :
$$2HBr + {H_2}S{O_4} \to 2{H_2}O + S{O_2} + B{r_2};$$ $${{H_2}S{O_4}}$$ acts as reducing agent.

Which of the following acids forms three series of salts?
A
$${H_3}P{O_2}$$
B
$${H_3}B{O_3}$$
C
$${H_3}P{O_4}$$
D
$${H_3}P{O_3}$$
Answer :
$${H_3}P{O_4}$$
View Solution
Discuss Question
$${H_3}P{O_4}$$ is a tribasic acid as it has $$3P - OH$$ bonds. i.e., 3 ionisable $$H$$ atoms thus, can form three series of salts.
