C12H22O11(s) + H2SO4(aq) 12C(s) + 11H2O(l) + H2SO4(aq)

In the reaction above, tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid function as

Answer Details

In the given chemical reaction, tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid (H2SO4) is not consumed during the reaction, but it acts as a reactant. It reacts with another reactant (C12H22O11) to produce a product (11H2O). Therefore, tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid acts as a dehydrating agent in the given reaction.
