Question

Which compound does H2SO4 represent when in an aqueous solution?
a) sulfur oxide
b) sulfuric acid
c) hydrogen sulfide
d) hydrogen disulfate

Answer 1

H₂SO₄ represents Sulphuric acid or SO₄²⁻ ion when in aqueous as well as H⁺ and a little amount of HSO₄⁻ all of these ions can form in aqueous on dissolving H₂SO₄

Answer 2

Answer:The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Acid a are those compound which gives hydronium ions in their aqueous solution.

$HA+H_2O\rightarrow A^-+H_3O^+$

$H_2SO_4+H_2O\rightarrow SO_{4}^{2-}+2H^+$

Sulfuric acid in its aqueous solution gives  sulfate ions and hydronium ions.

Hence, the correct answer is option b.
