Identify the incorrect statement out of the following :

ALewis Concept cannot explain the acidic nature of $$H_{2}SO_{4}$$
BBronsted Lowry theory can explain the acidic nature of $$CO_{2}$$
Correct Answer
C$$H_{2}SO_{4}$$ in $$HClO_{4}$$ can acts as a base.
DNone of these

Solution

Bronsted Lowry theory can not explain the acidic nature of $$CO_2$$ because it has no protons. Lewis concept cannot explains the acid nature of $$H_2SO_4$$ because as per Lewis acid is one which accepts electron pair. $$H_2SO_4$$ in $$HClO_4$$ can act as conjugate base of $$HClO_4$$. Option B is correct.
