Question

Assertion: $Dil.{H_2}S{O_4}$ can convert into normal salt.
Reason: Sulphuric acid is dibasic acid. On neutralizing with a base it forms acid salt and normal salt.
A.Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
B.Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
C.Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
D.Both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Answer 1

Hint: At first we will know about the Sulphuric acid and about its nature. Next, we look into the reactions it can do with other compounds so that we can find out that it can make a normal salt of not. Then we will see a neutralizing equation of Sulphuric acid.

Complete step by step solution:
Step1: Sulphuric acid is one of the strongest acids. It is an excellent electrolyte. Now when we dilute, it releases a lot of heat due to its high ionization. It reacts with many types of bases creating salts, reacts with metals and releases hydrogen gas and forms sulfate of the metal. Its chemical formula is ${H_2}S{O_4}$ .
Step2. Now when we look at the assertion we can say that it is correct. Since it is a strong acid so it will produce a normal salt.
Step3: Now when we already know from its nature that it is a dibasic acid. When we perform a neutralization reaction of a dibasic acid with a base, it produces two types of salt. Normal and acid salt, Hence the reason is also correct and it is the correct explanation of the assertion provided into the question.
Step4: A neutralization reaction is the reaction where acid and base react to make a salt. One such reaction of Sulphuric acid with $NaOH$ is given below.
Reaction. $2NaOH + dil.{H_2}S{O_4} \to N{a_2}S{O_4} + {H_2}O$

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

Note: The main use of Sulphuric acid is in the production of phosphoric acid. It indirectly helps in producing phosphate fertilizers. It is an industrial cleaning agent. It is often used in large amounts to remove the rust from the metal. It is a common catalyst in many reactions.
