Q. In the reaction,
$C u + H_{2} S O_{4} \to C u S O_{4} + H_{2} O + S O_{2}$

$H^{+}$ is the oxidizing agent

$S O_{4}^{2 -}$ is the oxidizing agent

Both (a) and (b) correct

None of the above is correct

$C u$ is oxidized by $S O_{4}^{2 -}$

Q. In the reaction, Cu+H2​SO4​→CuSO4​+H2​O+SO2​

H+is the oxidizing agent

SO42−​ is the oxidizing agent
