Question:
Which metal dissolves in sulfuric acid to produce an aqueous solution and no precipitate?
a. lead
b. chromium
c. barium
d. silver
Sulfuric acid:
Sulfuric acid dissociates completely in water and hence it is a strong acid. It is composed of elements like sulphur, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is corrosive in nature and is dangerous acid. It can be used to dissolve certain metals in solution.
