Options
A.hygroscopic agent
B.sulphonating agent
C.reducing agent
D.oxidising agent.
Solution
Sulphuric acid has very high affinity towards water and that is why it is used as dehydrating agent. Concentrated H2SO4 + concentrated HNO3 acts as a sulphonating agent for the sulphonation of various aromatic compounds. It acts as oxidising agent and oxidises HBr to Br2 and HI to I2.
