Hot concentrated sulphuric acid is a moderately strong oxidizing agent. Which of the following reactions does not show oxidizing behaviour?
Options
- ACu + 2 H 2 SO 4 → CuSO 4 + SO 2 + 2 H 2 O
- B3 S + 2 H 2 SO 4 → 3 SO 2 + 2 H 2 O
- CC + 2 H 2 SO 4 → CO 2 + 2 SO 2 + 2 H 2 O
- DCaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → CaSO 4 + 2 HF
Correct answer
D. CaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → CaSO 4 + 2 HF
Step-by-step solution
CaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → CaSO 4 + 2 HF In this reaction, there is no change in oxidation state of any atom.
