On treating `PCl_(5)` with `H_(2)SO_(4)`, sulphuryl chloride `(SO_(2)Cl_(2))` is formed as the final product. This shows that `H_(2)SO_(4)`A. has two hydroxyl groups in its structureB. is a derivative of sulphur dioxideC. is a dibasic acidD. has greater affinity for water

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`PCl_5+HO-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)S-OH toCl-underset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)S-Cl+POCl_(3)+H_(2)O`
`PCl_(5)` attacks -OH group and replace it by -Cl group . Hence , reaction of `PCl_(5)` with `H_2SO_(4)` shows the presence of two -OH groups in `H_2SO_4` .
