`CO_2`

C

`NH_3`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Conc. H_(2) SO_(4)` reacts with `H_(2) S` and `NH_(3)`, while `CO_(2)` remains unaffected, hence `conc. H_(2) SO_(4)` can be used to dry `CO_(2)` gas.
`H_(2) S + H_(2) SO_(4) rarr S darr + 2H_(2) O + SO_(2)`
`2 NH_(3) + H_(2) SO_(4) rarr (N_(4))_(2) SO_(4)`.
