Why only Conc.sulphuric acid ?
Question asked by: tvbabu2000
Asked on: 12 Feb 2010
Because sulphuric acid is the one that is used in this test in order to form the necessary chemical with the telltale brown signature.
If you used another acid then the products of the reaction would be different and therefore the distinctive brown ring would not occur - and thus it would not be a brown ring test as a result but a different sort of test!
