(i) When conc. H2SO4 is added to a crystal of hydrated copper sulphate, it removes water of crystallisation from salt.
(ii) C12H22O11 + conc. H2SO4→ 6C + 6H2O
Solution 2014-1
(i) Dehydrating property of sulphuric acid:
H2SO4 has a great affinity for water, and therefore, it acts as a dehydrating agent.
(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.
Mg + H2SO4→ MgSO4 + H2↑
CuO + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O
2NaOH + H2SO4→ Na2SO4 + 2H2O
ZnCO3 + H2SO4→ ZnSO4 + H2O + CO2↑
(iii) As a non-volatile acid:
It has a high boiling point, so it is used to prepare volatile acids such as HCl, HNO3 and acetic acid from their salts.
NaCl + H2SO4→ NaHSO4 + HCl
NaNO3 + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HNO3
CH3COONa + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + CH3COOH

(i)
1. Action of sulphuric acid on potassium hydrogen carbonate
2KHCO3 + H2SO4→ K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2↑
2. Action of sulphuric acid on sulphur
S + 2H2SO4→ 3SO2 + 2H2O
(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
