QQuestion

The salt formed when concentrated sulphuric acid reacts with KNO3 above 200°C: [1]

  1. K2SO4
  2. K2SO3
  3. KHSO4
  4. KHSO3

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

a. K2SO4

Explanation:

Above 200°C, potassium nitrate reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid to form potassium sulphate and nitric acid.

The balanced equation is:

2\mathrm{KNO_3} + \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \xrightarrow{>200^\circ\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{K_2SO_4} + 2\mathrm{HNO_3}

Therefore, the salt formed is potassium sulphate (K2SO4).
