The answer is e, But why? can someone provide a detailed explanation to why HSO3- is somehow stronger than H2SO3? dont all polyprotic acid become weaker once it dissociates? (ka1 >ka2)??
This is a tricky question because all other than (e) are in maximum oxidised form as per addition of oxygen.
But in oxidation of H2SO3 it gives H2SO4.
as we know H2SO4 is stronger acid than H2SO3 as it contains more oxygen atoms which causes stability of its acidity.
In all other cases it gives next step of their acid
As H3PO4 gives H2PO4 - .
Which causes formation of weaker acid than previous one.
Which of the following acids can be oxidized to form a stronger acid? H3PO4 HNO3 H2CO3...
Name the following acids. Acid Name HBr(aq) HCIO3(aq) H2S(aq) HNO3(aq) H2SO3(aq) H2Se(aq) H2CO3(aq) HIO4(aq) HBrO2(aq) HF(aq)
Titration: Acids and Bases 2. How can you determine which acid is diprotic? 3. using the answers to questions one and two, which acid is diprotic? 4. Which base has more hydroxide ions per molecule? Acid Volume Base Base Initial Volume (mL) Base Final Volume (mL) Volume of Base Used (mL) Acid: Base Ratio Acid 1 20 mL Base 1 50 mL 34.5 15.5 4:3 Acid 2 20 mL Base 1 Acid 1 20 mL Base 2 Acid 2 20...
Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
