{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} is an \boxed{{\text{acid}}}. The chemical equation that shows the acidic character of {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} in accordance with Arrhenius definition is \boxed{{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} \to 2{{\text{H}}^ + } + {\text{SO}}_4^{2 - }}.

Further explanation:

Arrhenius theory:

According to this theory, acid produces hydrogen or hydronium ions in a solution, while the base produces hydroxide ions in a solution. HCl, and {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_3} are Arrhenius acids while NaOH and KOH are the examples of Arrhenius bases.

Consider the example of HCl. Its dissociation occurs as follows:

{\text{HCl}}\to{{\text{H}}^+}+{\text{C}}{{\text{l}}^-}

HCl releases {{\text{H}}^+} ions on dissociation and is therefore an Arrhenius acid.

The dissociation of NaOH occurs as follows:

{\text{NaOH}}\to{\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^+}+{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}

NaOH dissociates to produce hydroxide ions and is therefore an Arrhenius base.

The dissociation of {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} occurs as follows:

{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} \to 2{{\text{H}}^+}+{\text{SO}}_4^{2-}

One mole of {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} dissociates to produce two moles of hydrogen ions \left({{{\text{H}}^+}}\right) and one mole of sulfate ions \left({{\text{SO}}_4^{2-}}\right) According to Arrhenius theory, any species that produces hydrogen ions in solution is termed as an acid. Therefore {{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{\mathbf{S}}{{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{4}}} is an acid.

  H2SO4  is an  acid

the  chemical  equation  showing  how H2SO4  is an acid  according  to the Arrhenius  definition   is as below

H2SO4  dissociate to  give  2H^+  and  SO4^2-

that is   H2SO4  = 2H^+  +  SO4^2-

According to Arrhenius  an acid  dissociate  to give H^+  ions H2SO4 is an acid  since  it dissociate  to  give  two hydrogen ions

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 22.5 psi to psi the temperature changes from 110 c to 65.
ad-work [718]
Gay- Lussacs law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to temperature for a fixed amount of gas at constant volume.
therefore P/T = k
where P - pressure , T - temperature and k - constant 
\frac{P1}{T1} =  \frac{P2}{T2}

parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
T1 - temperature in kelvin - 110 °C + 273 = 383 K
T2 - 65.0 °C + 273 = 338 K
substituting these values in the equation 

\frac{22.5 psi}{383 K} =  \frac{P}{338K}
P = 19.9 psi 
new pressure is 19.9 psi

Write a sentence that descrices how to determine the number of moles of a compound in known mass of a
sattari [20]

Explanation:

<u>Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  </u>

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

For example ,

For  a compound X ,

The given mass i.e. w = 20 g

and the molecular mass ,i.e. , m = 10 g / mol

Then the moles can easily be calculated by using the above formula ,

n = w / m

n = 20 g / 10 g/mol = 2 mol

Hence , answer = 2 mol.

How much heat must be removed from 25.0g of steam at 118.0C in order to form ice at 15C
NemiM [27]

Answer:

-10778.95 J heat must be removed in order to form the ice at 15 °C.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of steam = 25 g

Initial temperature = 118 °C

Final temperature = 15 °C

Heat released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

q = m . c . ΔT

we know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g.°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 15 °C - 118 °C

ΔT = -103 °C

now we will put the values in formula

q = m . c . ΔT

q = 25 g × 4.186 J/g.°C × -103 °C

q = -10778.95 J

so, -10778.95 J heat must be removed in order to form the ice at 15 °C.
