Question

Sulphate ion is acid radical or basic radical

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid radicals ions like sulfate ions , carbonate ions, phosphate ions oxalate ions and base radicals like aluminium ions. Explanation: Sulphate ions formula: SO4 2

Answer 2

Answer:

Sulphate ion is an acid radical.

Explanation:

Acid radicals:

Acid radicals are the negative component of the acid ions. We get an acid radical when we remove the hydrogen ion H⁺ from an acid.

Basic radicals:

Basic radicals are the positive component left in a base after the remolal of the negative hydroxyl part OH⁻.

Consider the molecule Sodium Sulphate with molecular formula Na₂SO₄.

When they split we get:

Na₂SO₄ → Na²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Similarly in H₂SO₄ Sulphate ion can be made by removal of two H⁺ ions.

So the Sodium ion acts as a basic radical and the Sulphate ion acts as an acid radical.

So the Sulphate ion is an acid radical.
