Bases are solids/aqueous solutions that give a pH value of above 7.0. A solution with pH of below 7.0 is considered an acid. Sulfuric acid, as its name suggests, is not a base.
Sulfuric acid is a strong acid as it dissociates readily to give H+ ions. The dissociation of sulfuric acid in water in complete and all H+ ions are dissociated when dissolved in water.
A strong and a weak acid is differentiated by its ability to dissociate in water. Strong acid dissociate completely in water, while weak acids tend to not dissociate completely in water. A complete dissociation is classified by the complete dissociation of all H+ ions in the compound when dissolved in water.
Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, completely dissociates its 1st H+ in water to form 1 H+ and HSO4- ions, the 2nd H+ is less strong and not completely dissociated in water to form another H+ and remaining SO42- ions.
Hence, it is a strong acid for the first and an almost strong acid for the second dissociation in water.
In more diluted solutions (less than 0.1M), it might be regarded as a diprotic strong mineral acid.
yes it is a strong oxidizing agent as elements become more electronegative as the oxidation states of their atoms increase.
no because an acid is defined as a proton doner (in the form of a H+ ion) as the compound does not contain hydrogen it cannot be an acid.
Yes. It completely disassociates in solution.
Nope it's a strong acid it will burn off your hand if you touch it.
Oxidation is either the loss of electrons or gain in protons (H+). Since Sulfuric acid is a proton donor it is an oxidizing agent.
No, it is a reducing agent.
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Hydrogen sulphide, H2S, is a colorless and poisonous flammable gas.
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
It is an oxy acid which may act as an oxidizing agent, reducing agents are those which may produce atomic hydrogen or hydride ion.
Yes it is
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.
No. Hydrogen gas is generally a reducing agent.
When H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent, the oxygen is reduced to H2O. When H2O2 serves as a reducing agent, the oxygen is oxidized to O2 and bubbles are noticed.
This chemical element is fluorine.
Hydrogen Sulfate
Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
No. Hydrogen sulphide is covalent.
There are two atoms.Formula for hydrogen sulphide is H2S.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.
