Question
Hot conc. \[\ce{H2SO4}\] acts as the moderately strong oxidising agent. It oxidises both metals and non-metals. Which of the following element is oxidised by conc. \[\ce{H2SO4}\] into two gaseous products?
Options
\[\ce{Cu}\]
\[\ce{S}\]
\[\ce{C}\]
\[\ce{Zn}\]

Solution
\[\ce{C}\]
Explanation:
\[\ce{C + 2H2SO4 -> CO2 + SO2 + 2H2O}\]
Conc. \[\ce{H2SO4}\] oxidises \[\ce{C}\] to produce two gaseous products.
