Q.

Hot concentrated sulphuric acid is a moderately strong oxidizing agent. Which of the following reactions does not show oxidizing behaviour           [2016]

1 Cu+2H2SO4CuSO4+SO2+2H2O  
2 S+2H2SO43SO2+2H2O  
3 C+2H2SO4CO2+2SO2+2H2O  
4 CaF2+H2SO4CaSO4+2HF    

Ans.

(4)

CaF2+H2SO4CaSO4+2HF

Here, the oxidation state of every atom remains the same, so it is not a redox reaction.
