Statement-1 : Sulphuric acid is less viscous than water due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Statement-2 : Concentrated sulphuric acid is used as dehydrating agent.

Options

A. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-14
B. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-15
C. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
D. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Answer

D

Explanation

Statement-1 : `H_(2)SO_(4)` is more viscous due to the greater extent of intermolecular `H`-bonding then water.
Statement-2 :Concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent.Many wet gases can be dried by passing them through sulphuric acid, provided the gases do not react with the acid.Sulphuric acid removes water from organic compound.it is evident by its charring action on carbohydrates.
`C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)overset(H_(2)SO_(4))to12C+11H_(2)O , H_(2)C_(2)O_(4) underset(-H_(2)O)overset(H_(2)SO_(4))toCO+CO_(2)`
