Read the both statements and select the correct option:
Statement 1. is a colourless, dense, oily liquid with specific gravity of 1.84 at 298K.
Statement 2. Dissolution of sulphuric acid in water is highly endothermic.
Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct.
Both statements are correct.
Both statements are incorrect.
Sulphuric acid is a colourless, dense, oily liquid with a specific gravity of 1.84 at 298K. The dissolution of sulphuric acid in water is highly exothermic as it dissolves in water with the evolution of a large quantity of heat. Hence, concentrated acid must be added slowly into the water with constant stirring.
