Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: completely (100%) dissociates, producing a significant amount of H+ and OH- ions in solution, making it conduct electricity well.

Explanation:

A strong acid is one that ionizes or dissociate completely in water to yield its hydrogen ion (H+) as the only positively charged ion.

For example: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociates completely in water to give hydrogen ion and chlorine ion

HCl(aq) --> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

A strong base, on the other hand, dissociates completely in water to yield an hydroxyl ion (OH-) as the only negatively charged ion. A good example is Sodium hydroxide NaOH

NaOH (aq) --> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)

And since mobile and charged ions help transmit electric current, a strong acid or base produces significant amount of H+ and OH- ions that conduct electricity well.

What is the [H ] of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is H2SO4 ionizes in water according to the balanced chem
Ainat [17]

Answer:  0.002 M

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for ionization of H_2SO_4 in water is:

H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of H_2SO_4 ionizes to give =2 mole of H^+ ions

0.001 mole of H_2SO_4 ionizes to give = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.001=0.002 mole of H^+ ions

Thus H^+ of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid is 0.002 M

How many moles of hydrogen ions are formed in the ionization of 0.250 moles of H2SO4?
True [87]

Answer:

The ionization of 0.250 moles of H₂SO₄ will produce 0.5 moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion)

Explanation:

From the ionization of H₂SO₄, we have

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, at 100% yield, one mole of H₂SO₄ produces two moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion) and one mole of SO₄²⁻ (sulphate ion), therefore, 0.250 moles of H₂SO₄ will produce 2×0.250 moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion) or 0.5 moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion) and 0.25 moles of SO₄²⁻ (sulphate ion).

That is; 0.250·H₂SO₄ → 0.5·H⁺ + 0.250·SO₄²⁻.
