Good question. Someone else will probably have a better answer than me but this is what I learnt at school.
The water molecules breakdown the bonds between the hydrogen Ions (2H^[+1]) from what is left over (SO4^[-2]). From my understanding water is just a catalyst in this reaction.
Water
H2SO4 --------> 2H^[+1] + SO4^[-2]
However again someone probably has a better explanation than me
What else can I help you with?
What has more mass water or sulfuric acid?
The molecular maass of sulfuric acid (98,08) is greater than the molecular mass of water (18).
Is anhydrous H2CO3 ionic or molecular?
Anhydrous H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is molecular, not ionic. It does not dissociate into ions in the absence of water.
What tests you could use to discover if a compound were ionic or molecular?
Dissolve them in water. If the solution conducts electricity, then the solute is an ionic compound. If not, then it is a molecular compound.
What is shte name of a molecular compound that ionizes in water to produce protons?
A molecular compound that ionizes in water to produce protons is a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
Compound water is an example?
Water is a compound consisting of the elements hydrogen and oxygen. The molecular formula for water is H2O.
What is water of crystallisation?
The water of crystallization is a type of water contained in the molecular structure of a compound.
Is H2O made of molecules?
Yes. Water is a molecular compound.
What are two kinds of compounds?
The two types of compound are molecular and ionic. An ionic compound commonly used is table salt, or NaCl. A molecular compound commonly used is water, or H2O.
A compound formed of 0.059 mol hydrogenand 0.94 mol oxyegn has a molecular mass of 34.0what is the molecular formula of this compound?
The molar ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in the compound is 1:1. This means the compound is water (H2O), which has a molecular mass of 18.0 g/mol, not 34.0 g/mol. The given molecular mass of 34.0 g/mol does not match the properties of water.
What compound is made when sulfuric acid is neutralized?
Using any strong base the resultant compound would be a salt, plus water.
Are covalent molecular compounds soluble?
Solubility of a substance in water depends on the type of interaction predominates in the compound and the solvent.The solubility of any compound follows the principle "like dissolves like".So if a covalent molecular compound is polar then it dissolves in a polar solvent and if it is non polar or hydrophobic then it dissolves in a nonpolar solvent
Is HClO4 ionic or molecular?
HCIO4 is an ionic compound.
