Answer:

An acid because they donate H^+ ions

Explanation:

Let us look at the equation again;

H2SO3 + H2O « H3O+ + HSO3-

An acid donates hydrogen ion while a base accepts hydrogen ion. Hence, we have to look at which species that acted as hydrogen ion donors or acceptors.

We can clearly see that H2SO3 acted as a hydrogen ion donor while H2O acted as a hydrogen ion acceptor.

Thus, H2SO3 acted as an acid by donating hydrogen ions.

Answer:

a) r = k × [A] × [B]²

b) 3

Explanation:

Let's consider the following generic reaction

A + B + C ⇒ Products

The generic rate law is:

r = k × [A]ᵃ × [B]ᵇ × [C]ⁿ

where

r: reaction rate

k: rate constant

a, b, n: reaction orders

This reaction is first order in A, second order in B, and zero order in C. The rate law is:

r = k × [A]¹ × [B]² × [C]⁰

r = k × [A] × [B]²

The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the individual reaction orders.

1 + 2 + 0 = 3

The enthalpy change of the reaction when sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react can be calculated using the mass of solution, temperature change, and specific heat of water.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be represented as,

$H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ----> Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)$
