Consider the following reaction taking place on heating with conc. H2SO4.
\(\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11} \xrightarrow{\text { conc. } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}} 12 \mathrm{C}+11 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
The above reaction shows that sulphuric acid is
\(\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11} \xrightarrow{\text { conc. } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}} 12 \mathrm{C}+11 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
