The statement "Although sulfuric acid is a strong electrolyte, an aqueous solution of H₂SO₄ contains more HSO₄⁻ ions than SO₄²⁻ ions is <u>True.</u> This is best explained by the fact that H₂SO₄ <u>is a diprotic acid where only the first hydrogen completely ionizes.</u>
Why?
H₂SO₄ is a diprotic acid. That means that it has <u>two hydrogen ions</u> to give to the solution. The two dissociation reactions are shown below:
H₂SO₄ + H₂O → HSO₄⁻ + H₃O⁺
HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄²⁻ + H₃O⁺
As the arrows show, the first dissociation is complete, meaning that all the sulfuric acid that is present initially is dissociated into HSO₄⁻ and H₃O⁺. However, the second dissociation is incomplete, and it's actually an equilibrium with an acid constant (Ka)of 1.2×10⁻².
That means that if the initial concentration of H₂SO₄ was 1M, the concentration of HSO₄⁻ is going to be 1M as well, but <u>the concentration of SO₄²⁻ is going to be much less than 1M</u>, according to the dissociation constant.
Have a nice day!
12.) 15 : 10 Times Each One By 0.3
15*0.3= 4.5
15-4.5 = 10.5
10*0.3= 3
10-3=7
The Scale Factor Is 10.5:7
Well the sun wouldn't be up yet it would be dark and when you wouldn't be able to see it they would see it in the sky
Keep fit, lots of sleep and healthy diet.
