Sulphuric acid as an acid – H2SO4 ionises in water
to give H3O+(aq) ions (Both conc. H2SO4 and dil. H2SO4 contain H3O+(aq) ions)
For Examples,reaction with alkali (base) to give salt and
water only ,(neutralization) / reaction with
carbonates (hydrogencarbonates) to give carbon dioxide / action on acid-base indicator,
etc.
e.g. H2SO4 + NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
H2SO4 + Na2CO3 → Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2
Turns blue litmus red (or, action on other indicators)
Differences in chemical properties:
The oxidizing power of conc. H2SO4 is much stronger than that of dilute H2SO4
Examples:conc. H2SO4 can oxidise metal / non-metal / compounds. It is commonly reduced to SO2
e.g.Cu + 2H2SO4 → CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O
C + 2H2SO4 → CO2 + 2SO2 + 2H2O
2HBr + H2SO4 → Br2 + 2H2O + SO2
Also,Conc. H2SO4 can act as a dehydrating agent but dil. H2SO4
cannot.
Examples:conc. H2SO4 can dehydrate CuSO4.5H2O / sugar
Conc. H2SO4 is a non-volatile acid but dil. H2SO4 is not.
Example:conc. H2SO4 is used in the preparation of
hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
e.g. H2SO4 + NaCl → NaHSO4 + HCl
H2SO4 + NaNO3 → NaHSO4 + HNO3
Conc. H2SO4 has a high affinity for water.
Dilution of conc. H2SO4 is highly exothermic.
