Question

Which of the following is the correct formula for sulfuric acid?

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, (D) $H_2SO_4$

Explanation :

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid which is composed of the elements hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Sulfuric acid is a colorless and odorless liquid that is soluble in water and it is highly exothermic.

The formation of sulfuric acid from its ions, is given by the equation:

$2H^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_4(aq)$

The molecular formula of sulfuric acid is, $H_2SO_4$

Hence, the correct formula for sulfuric acid is, $H_2SO_4$

Answer 2

D. H2SO4 would be correct!
