MCQ
Which of the following statement is correct for oleum ?
  • It is prepared by adsorption of $SO _{3}$ in conc. $H _{2} SO _{4}$
  • B
    It contains $O-O$ groups
  • C
    I has six $OH $ groups
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
It is prepared by adsorption of $SO _{3}$ in conc. $H _{2} SO _{4}$
a
Oleum is manufactured by adsorption of sulphur trioxide in concentrated sulphuric acid. The reaction is as follows:

$H _{2} SO _{4}(l)+ SO _{3}( g ) \rightarrow H _{2} S _{2} O _{7}($ oleum $)$

The structure of oleum is shown below :
