Nitrous acid decolourizes acidified K M n O 4 K M n O 4 KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO} 4KMnO4 and bromine water. It readily gets oxidized to nitric acid, so it also behaves as a reducing agent.
2 K M n O 4 ( a q ) + 3 H 2 S O 4 ( a q ) + 5 H N O ( a q ) K 2 S O ( a q ) + 2 M n S O ( a q ) + 2 K M n O 4 ( a q ) + 3 H 2 S O 4 ( a q ) + 5 H N O ( a q ) ⟶ K 2 S O ( a q ) + 2 M n S O ( a q ) + 2KMnO4(aq)+3H2SO4(aq)+5HNO(aq)quad longrightarrowK2SO(aq)+2MnSO(aq)+2 \mathrm{KMnO} 4(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{SO} 4(\mathrm{aq})+5 \mathrm{HNO}(\mathrm{aq}) \quad \longrightarrow \mathrm{K} 2 \mathrm{SO}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{MnSO}(\mathrm{aq})+2KMnO4(aq)+3H2SO4(aq)+5HNO(aq)⟶K2SO(aq)+2MnSO(aq)+

7. Why S O 3 S O 3 SO3\mathrm{SO} 3SO3 is dissolved in sulphuric acid and not in water?

When S O 3 S O 3 SO3\mathrm{SO} 3SO3 is dissolved in 98 % H 2 S O 4 98 % H 2 S O 4 98%H2SO498 \% \mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{SO} 498%H2SO4, we obtain Pyrosulphuric acid or (Oleum).
H 2 S O 4 ( a q ) + S O 3 ( g ) H 2 S 2 O 7 ( l ) H 2 S O 4 ( a q ) + S O 3 ( g ) ⟶ H 2 S 2 O 7 ( l ) H2SO4(aq)+SO3(g)longrightarrowH2S2O7(l)\mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{SO} 4(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{SO} 3(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{~S} 2 \mathrm{O} 7(\mathrm{l})H2SO4(aq)+SO3( g)⟶H2 S2O7(l)
Oleum can be converted to sulphuric acid of any required concentration by adding water.
H 2 S 2 O 7 ( I ) + H 2 O ( I ) 2 H 2 S O 4 ( a q ) H 2 S 2 O 7 ( I ) + H 2 O ( I ) ⟶ 2 H 2 S O 4 ( a q ) H2S2O7(I)+H2O(I)longrightarrow2H2SO4(aq)\mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{~S} 2 \mathrm{O} 7(\mathrm{I})+\mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{I}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{SO} 4(\mathrm{aq})H2 S2O7(I)+H2O(I)⟶2H2SO4(aq)
If S O 3 S O 3 SO3\mathrm{SO} 3SO3 is dissolved in water directly, a highly exothermic reaction occurs in which heat energy is released and it vaporizes suphuric acid to make mist or fog. This fog does not condense easily.

Show more than two oxidation states like 2 , + 2 , + 4 − 2 , + 2 , + 4 -2,+2,+4-2,+2,+4−2,+2,+4 and +6 because they have also d d ddd-subshells in their valence shells.

23. What is aqua regia?

Aqua regia is a mixture of 3 parts of conc. H C l H C l HCl\mathrm{HCl}HCl and one part of conc. H N O 3 H N O 3 HNO_(3)\mathrm{HNO}_{3}HNO3. Metals like gold and platinum can dissolve in aqua regia by the formation of their chlorides
3 H C l + H N O 3 N O C l + C l 2 + 2 H 2 O 2 N O C l 2 N O + C l 2 3 H C l + H N O 3 ⟶ N O C l + C l 2 + 2 H 2 O 2 N O C l ⟶ 2 N O + C l 2 {:[3HCl+HNO_(3)longrightarrowNOCl+Cl_(2)+2H_(2)O],[2NOCllongrightarrow2NO+Cl_(2)]:}\begin{gathered} 3 \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{HNO}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NOCl}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \\ 2 \mathrm{NOCl} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{gathered}3HCl+HNO3⟶NOCl+Cl2+2H2O2NOCl⟶2NO+Cl2
This liberated chlorine converts noble metals to their chlorides.

Over all reaction is as follows:

24. Justify that sulphuric acid is king of chemicals.

It is called king of acid because of its direct and indirect applications in manufacture of many chemicals including fertilisers. Sulphuric acid is used to clean up rust from steel rolls and soap. It also dissolves its own compounds. It replaces salts from weaker acids. It is ideal to call sulphuric acid as king of chemicals .It is corrosive acts as good dehydrant.
