Among C, S and P, the element (s) that produce (s) SO2 on reaction with hot conc. H2SO4 is/are

  • A
    Only S
  • B
    Only C and S
  • C
    Only S and P
  • Correct answer
    D
    C, S and P

Solution

The reactions between given elements, S, C and P with conc. H2SO4 are as follows:

C+H2SO4⟶CO2+SO2+H2O

S+H2SO4⟶SO2+H2O

P4+H2SO4⟶H3PO4+SO2+H2O

Thus, all the given elements produces SO2 on reaction with hot concentration.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
