Answer

(i) C + 2H2SO4 (conc.) ⟶ CO2 + 2SO2 + 2H2O

(ii) Mg + H2SO4 (dil.) ⟶ MgSO4 + H2 (g)

(iii) C12H22O11Conc. H2SO412C [sugar charcoal]+11H2O\text{C}{12}\text{H}{22}\text{O}{11}\xrightarrow{\text{Conc. H}2\text{SO}4} \text{12C} \small{\space[sugar\space charcoal]} + \text{11H}2\text{O}

(iv) SO3 + H2SO4 (conc.) ⟶ H2S2O7 (oleum)
H2S2O7 + H2O ⟶ 2H2SO4 (conc.)
