Which of the following is not true for concentrated \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) ?
- A Sulphonating agent
- B Oxidising agent
- C Dehydrating agent
- D Deliquescent in nature
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Sulphonating agent
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Sulphuric acid \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)\) is hygroscopic in nature, it absorbs atmospheric moisture without changing physical state. It is not deliquescent in nature. \(\therefore\) Option (a) is not true.
