The products formed during the reaction of carbon with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` are `C+H_(2)SO_(4)to` products

Options

A. `CO,SO_(2),H_(2)O`
B. `CO_(2),SO_(2),H_(2)O`
C. `CO,CO_(2),H_(2)O`
D. `SO,H_(2)O`

Answer

B

Explanation

When ` H_(2)SO_(4)` (conc.) react with non-metals, it given oxoacid of non-metal and ` SO_(2)` (g) . If oxoacid is unstable, it decomposes, [as in ` H_(2) CO_(3)`, which decomposes as ` CO_(2) + H_(2)O ` ] the whole reaction occurs as follows :
` C + H_(2) SO_(4) overset(Delta)toH_(2)CO_(3) + SO_(2) to CO_(2) H_(2)O + SO_(2)`
Hence , option (b) is the correct answer .
