Why is `K_(a_(2)) ltlt K_(a_(1))` for `H_(2)SO_(4)` in water?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H_(2)SO_(4)` is strong acid as its first ionization to `H_(3)O^(+) and HSO_(4)^(-)` is large and further ionization is small.

Why is K_(a_2)ltltK_(a_1) for H_2SO_4 in water?

For a 0.072 M NaSO_(4) solution,select the incorrect option(s): (K_(a_(1)) and K_(a_(2)) of H_(2)SO_(4)=oo & 1.2xx10^(-2))

A solution contains 0.1M H_(2)S and 0.3M HCI . Calculate the conc.of S^(2-) and HS^(-) ions in solution. Given K_(a_(1)) and K_(a_(2)) for H_(2)S are 10^(-7) and 1.3xx10^(-7) respectively.

If K_(a_(1))gtK_(a_(2)) of H_(2)SO_(4) are 10^(-2) and 10^(-6) respectively then:

If osmotic presssure of 1M aqueous solution of H_(2)SO_(4) at 500 K is 90.2 atm. Calculate K_(a2) of H_(2)SO_(4) . Give your answer after multiplying 1000 with K_(a_(2)) . (Assumme ideal solution) [Given : K_(a_(1)) of H_(2)SO_(4)=oo ,R=0.082 L atm // mol-K]

The concentration of CO_(2) in atmosphere is 88ppm . If all of the CO_(2) present in 10^(5)mL of air is dissolved in 1dm^(3) water, then approximate pOH of solution at 27^(@)C will be (K_(a_(1)) = 10^(-7), K_(a_(2)) = 10^(-11) for H_(2)CO_(3)]
