Does Sulphuric Acid Act as an Oxidising Agent?

Sulphuric acid acts as an acid, an oxidising agent and as a dehydrating agent. In which way does it behave when it acts on: Sodium hydroxide.

Is Sulphuric acid an oxidizing agent?

Again, copper has no reaction with dilute sulfuric acid, but in concentrated sulfuric acid, the highly acidic environment and high concentration of sulfate ions allow the sulfate ions to act as an oxidizing agent: Cu + 2 H₂SO₄ → SO₂ + 2 H₂O + SO₄²⁻ + Cu.

Does Sulphuric acid act as reducing agent?

it is always an oxidizing agent. In H2SO4 sulphur is in +6 oxidation state. ... As sulphur is already in it's maximum possible oxidation state in H2SO4, further loss of electrons is not possible. So it can't act as a reducing agent.
