H2SO4 cannot be used for obttaining HBr ...

`H_2SO_4` cannot be used for obttaining HBr from KBr because :

A

(1) HBr oxidises `H_2SO_4`.

B

(2) HBr reduces `H_2SO_4`

C

(3) HBr undergoes disproportionation

D

(4) KBr reacts very slowly.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The HBr so formed reduces `H_2SO_4` and itself gets oxidised to evolve `Br_2`.
`2HBr+H_2SO_4 to 2H_2O + SO_2 + Br_2`
