h2so4 - help
« on: January 28, 2008, 06:31:44 PM »

What are the equations for reactions of carbon and H2SO4, and Fe2O3 and H2SO4? H2SO4 is concentrated....

I am confused, cause acid is concentrated, it should work as an oxidizing agent, but Fe already has its maximum oxidation number +3?

There is always a possibility that there will be no reaction... Although metal oxides often react with acids and it is not a redox reaction.
