Carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) is a polyprotic acid. When carbonic acid dissolves in water, which is higher, the concentration of HCO₃- i
1 answer:
The concentration of CO₃²⁻ ions will be higher
To explain, I want you to imagine H₂CO₃ in water.
we know that it will lose 2 of it's protons, and form 2 ions
The ion which is more stable will have a higher concentration because that ion will refuse to react with anything else, so once something turns into that specific ion, it's not going back... unless there's a more stabler ion possible
In this case, the 2 ions formed are: HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁽²⁻⁾, drawing the structures of both the ions tells us that both of them have resonance, but the CO₃⁽²⁻⁾ ion has more resonance structures and hence is more stable

Answer:- It is choice D.
Explanations:- In general, a neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with base to form salt and water.
in first reaction the reaction is taking place between ammonia(a base) and hydrochloric acid(an acid) to form their salt(ammonium chloride). So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.
In second reaction, sodium hydroxide(a base) is reacting with acetic acid(an acid) to form their salt(sodium acetate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.
In third reaction, Nitric acid is reacting with calcium hydroxide(a base) to form a salt(calcium nitrate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.
In fourth reaction, sulfuruc acid is reacting a sodium chloride(a salt) to give a double replacement reaction. It is not an acid-base neutralization reaction as it's not taking place between an acid and base.
So, the correct choice is D.
