Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide and so it does not react with sulphuric acid, which is a strong mineral acid.
Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide and so it does not react with sulphuric acid, which is a strong mineral acid.Also, carbon is in its maximum oxidation state of +4 in CO2 and sulphur in its maximum state of +6 in H2SO4 and so no redox reaction is possible between the two. But, both can act as effective oxidising agents with other substances independently, under certain conditions like high temperatures.
■》 Carbon reacts with sulfuric acid to produce carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide gas along with water. Sulfuric acid should be a concentrated, heated solution. ... It is a general "insoluble metal oxide is reacted with a dilute acid to form a soluble salt" type of reaction.
