Answer 2

Answer:

Dissociation of sulphurous acid takes place in two steps because it has two replaceable hydrogen atom while nitric acid dissociates in one step only as it has only one replaceable hydrogen atom

H2SO3 has two replaceable hydrogen atomH2SO3 → HSO3- + H+ HSO3- → SO3-- + H+ HNO3 has one replaceable hydrogen atom HNO3 → NO3- + H+
