A non-metal "X" with electronic configuration 2, 8, 6 forms corresponding-ous and-ic acids. Identify both the acids and explain the method of dilution of corresponding-ic acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Non-metal with electronic configuration 2, 8, 6 is sulphur. Corresponding ous and ic acids of sulphur are `H_(2)SO_(3)` and `H_(2)SO_(4)`, respectively.
`H_(2)SO`, is diluted by adding acid to water with continuous stirring because addition of water to acid is associated with liberation of large amount of heat at a time which may lead to violent and explosive reaction.
