Hot concentrated sulphuric acid is a moderately strong oxidizing agent. Which of the following reactions does not show oxidizing behaviour?1) \( Cu +2 H _{2} SO _{4} \rightarrow CuSO _{4}+ SO _{2}+2 H _{2} O \)2) \( S +2 H _{2} SO _{4} \rightarrow 3 SO _{2}+2 H _{2} O \)3) \( C +2 H _{2} SO _{4} \rightarrow CO _{2}+2 SO _{2}+2 H _{2} O \)4) \( CaF _{2}+ H _{2} SO _{4} \rightarrow CaSO _{4}+2 HF \) (NEET-II2016) |

Answer» Answer: CaF2+H2SO4 →CaSO4 +2HF In this reaction, the oxidation number of Ca,H,S and O are not changed (oxidation number not changed means it is not a redox reaction). Hence, H2SO4 is not acting as an oxidising agent and reducing agent. |
