It depends on the relative concentrations of the acid and the alcohol, and the temperature at which they are reacted.
Typically, the direct reduction of an alcohol by an acid produces an ester. In this specific reaction the expected product would be propyl hydrogen sulfate, aka sulfuric acid propyl ester. Esters and their "mother alcohol", in turn, react to form ethers, in this case dipropyl ether, with the acid and water as a byproduct.
This esterification reaction is readily reversible; the ether will crack water to reform the alcohol, and the ester will hydrolyze in the water to reform the acid and alcohol. By Le Chatelier's principle, these reactions will form an equilibrium between the acid, alcohol, ester and ether. The ether can be recovered by gentle heating to distill it, which shifts the equilibrium leading to sustainable production of the ether. The reaction can be quenched with water, which will hydrolize the ester back into the alcohol and acid, or by adding a strong base to neutralize the acid (in either case the ester is consumed by this process).
At very high concentrations of sulfuric acid (that would be called "fuming sulfuric acid" or oleum), the acid will dehydrate the alcohol (removing its hydroxyl and an additional hydrogen, forming a water molecule to balance the water and sulfate ions) to form an alkene, in this case propylene. This is again a reversible reaction; adding water to the mixture will lower the concentration of sulfuric acid and cause acid-catalyzed hydration of the propylene to reform propanol.
Mixing sulfuric acid with isopropanol can produce exothermic reactions, releasing heat. This reaction may lead to the formation of isopropyl sulfate and water. It is important to handle this reaction with caution due to the potential for heat release and the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid.
To prepare 0.5M sulfuric acid, you would mix concentrated sulfuric acid with water in the correct ratio. For example, to make 500 mL of 0.5M sulfuric acid, you could mix 25 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid with 475 mL of water. Always remember to add acid to water slowly to avoid splashing and heat generation.
No, sulfuric acid does not dissolve in hexane. Sulfuric acid is a polar substance, while hexane is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not mix easily and tend to remain separate when mixed together.
When Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are mixed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4), a reaction occurs where the magnesium sulfate is protonated by the sulfuric acid to form magnesium bisulfate and water. This reaction releases heat and should be handled carefully due to the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid.
To prepare a nitrate test solution using diphenylamine in sulfuric acid, you can mix diphenylamine with concentrated sulfuric acid in a specific ratio. Typically, a 0.1% diphenylamine solution in concentrated sulfuric acid is used for nitrate testing. Follow safety precautions when working with concentrated sulfuric acid as it is corrosive.
When you mix sulfuric acid and rock salt, a chemical reaction occurs that results in the formation of hydrogen chloride gas. This gas can be harmful if inhaled and the reaction should be conducted in a well-ventilated area with proper safety precautions.
It gives the product as calcuim-sulphate.
It turns into sulfuric acid. Then add salt, and it becomes hydrochloric acid. Awesome, huh? I have some sulfur, and I am going to try it.

Yes. I have no idea what will happen if you do though.
it forms calcium sulphate
It is not recommended to mix mercury with sulfuric acid as it can create toxic mercury vapor. This reaction can be dangerous and should be avoided due to the potential health risks associated with exposure to mercury vapor.
When sulfuric acid reacts with magnesium, it produces magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas. The equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + Mg → MgSO4 + H2.
