What is a Nitrating Agent?
Mixture of Conc. nitric acid and Conc. Sulphuric acid
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
What does hydrchloric acid do?
Hydrochloric acid can act as a Bronsted acid, an oxidizing agent and as a reducing agent.
Is sulfurous acid a dehydrating agent?
Concentrated sulphuric acid and Concentrated Phosporic acid are good dehydrating agents.It removes water from alcohols to convert it into corresponding alkenes.
Why sulfuric acid is used in Redox titration instead of HCl?
Because sulphuric acid is non volatile and its sulphate ion is not interfering during the titration process while HCl is a volatile substance and its chloride ion interfere in the reaction as a reducing agent.
Can sulphuric acid act as a reducing agent?
No, it is not possible.

What is role of sulphuric acid in dehydration of ethanol?
Acts as the dehydrating agent (catalyst).

Why phosphoric acid is not reducing agent?
It is an oxy acid which may act as an oxidizing agent, reducing agents are those which may produce atomic hydrogen or hydride ion.
Why sulfuric acid is used in Redox titration instead of HCl?
Because sulphuric acid is non volatile and its sulphate ion is not interfering during the titration process while HCl is a volatile substance and its chloride ion interfere in the reaction as a reducing agent.
What is the property of sulphuric acid when added to sugar that converts it to a black residue carbon?
a dehydrating agent
What is the decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain?
The decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain is acid alcohol. The decolorizing agent in the gram stain is ethanol.
Why add nitric acid and sulphuric acid to acetanilide?
HNO3 + H2SO4 acts as a sulphonating agent. It reacts with acetanilide to from 4-Acetylamino-benzenesulfonic acid.
Why nitrous acid used as oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
Nitrous acid is used to make diazides from amines; this occurs by nucleophilic.
