1.	Passage - VI : Industrially sulphuric acid is produced by the following steps: Stage I : S+O_(2) overset(Delta)to SO_(2) Stage II : 2SO_(2) +O_(2) overset(V_(2)O_(5))to 2SO_(3) Stage III : SO_(3)+H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4) Since the reaction between SO_(3) and H_(2)O is violent, SO_(3) is passed into 98% H_(2)SO_(4) to produce oleum (H_(2)S_(2)O_(7)) Pure H_(2)SO_(4) does not react with metal because -
Answer» PURE `H_(2)SO_(4)` does not contain any water Pure `H_(2)SO_(4)` is not OXIDISING agent Pure `H_(2)SO_(4)` is STRONGLY H - bonded Pure `H_(2)SO_(4)` does not contain any `SO_(3)` Solution :Pure `H_(2)SO_(4)` is strongly H-bonded. Hence it does not react with METAL.
