Wrie the ionisation of sulphuric acid showing the formation of hydronium ion?
Answers
H2SO4 + H2O → H3O+ + SO4 2-
Answer:
Explanation:
Ionisation is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. The resulting electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion.
A water molecule with an extra hydrogen ion attached, or , is what makes up a hydrogenium ion .
Acids are givers of protons. When they are dissolved in water, H+ ions are produced. These H+ ions interact with water molecules to generate hydronium ions since they are unstable and can't live independently. Acids ionise in water as a result, and the only positive ions that result are hydronium ions. Sulfate and hydronium ions are produced when sulfuric acid is ionised in water. because they are unable to reproduce on their own, living beings (without a host).
Sulphuric Acid + Water Hydronium ion + Sulphate ion
