H₂SO₄ has a great affinity for water, and therefore, it acts as a dehydrating agent.

Frank Solutions Icse Class 10 Chemistry Chapter - Study Of Sulphur Compound Sulphuric Acid

(ii) Acidic nature of sulphuric acid:

It acts as a strong dibasic acid.

It reacts with metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides and carbonates to form metallic sulphates and hydrogen at ordinary temperature.

(ii) In the contact process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid, the equations for the conversion of sulphur trioxide to sulphuric acid are

SO₃ + H₂SO₄→ H₂S₂O₇

(oleum or pyrosulphuric acid)

H₂S₂O₇ + H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
