# What is the product of the reaction of carbon with sulfuric acid? - Tags: inorganic-chemistry, redox - Score: 2 - Views: 42,093 - Answers: 1 - Asked by: scummy (151 rep) - Asked on: Dec 28, 2015 - Last active: Dec 8, 2019 - License: CC BY-SA 3.0 --- ## Question I don't know if $\\ce{C}$ or $\\ce{CuO}$ react with $\\ce{H2SO4}$. Some sources say that: $$\\ce{C + H2SO4 -> CO2 ^ + 2SO2 ^ + 2 H2O}$$ (It seems to be similar to $\\ce{Cu}$ reactions with $\\ce{H2SO4}$). Is the reaction possible? If the answer is yes, in what conditions does the reaction take place? And I was pretty sure that $\\ce{CuO + H2SO4 -> CuSO4 v + H2O}$ But my chemistry book says that none of the reactions is possible. I'm little bit confused, some help would be apreciated. --- ## Accepted Answer — Score: 4 - By: Nilay Ghosh (28,749 rep) - Answered on: May 6, 2016 Carbon reacts with sulfuric acid to produce carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide gas along with water. Sulfuric acid should be a concentrated, heated solution. $$\\ce{C + 2H2SO4 ->\[\\Delta\] CO2 + 2SO2 + 2H2O}$$ More insight about this reaction can be found [here](https://web.anl.gov/PCS/acsfuel/preprint%20archive/Files/03_2_BOSTON_04-59_0169.
