In which of the following reactions conc. H_{2}SO_{4} is used as an oxidising reagent?

(i) CaF_{2}+ H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow CaSO_{4}+ 2HF

(ii) 2HI + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow I_{2} + SO_{2}+ 2H_{2}O

(iii) Cu + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow CuSO_{4} + SO_{2}+ 2H_{2}O

(iv) NaCl + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow NaHSO_{4} + HCl
