By the very fact that it is named an 'acid', then it is an acid.

In the formula for acids , the hydrogen (H) is always the first letter.

H2SO4 Sulphuric Acid

HCl Hydrochloric Acid

HNO3 Nitric Acid

H3PO4 Phosphoric Acid

There are many more mineral acids

Soluble bases use the term 'hydroxide'. In the formula for hydroxides , the hydrogen comes last as ( -OH).

NaOH sodium Hydroxide

Ca(OH)2 Calcium Hydroxide

Al(OH)3 Aluminium Hydroxide

KOH Potassium Hydroxide

Is sulfuric acid or base?

As the name suggest ' it is an ACID. Sulphuric Acid has the formula ' H2SO4 '. NB A Base is a metal oxide of a Group(I) or (II) metal. None of these metals are in sulphuric acid.


Is sulfate a base or an acid?

Neither. Sulfate, SO4, is a polyatomic ion. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), however, is an acid.


Is h2so4 base salt or acid?

No such substance is 'h2so4'. If you mean ' H2SO4 ' , then this is Sulphuric Acid. As the name suggests it is an ACID , neither a base nor a salt. However, the sulphate anion ' SO4^(2-) ' , when combined with a metal , forms a salt .e.g. Copper sulphate (CuSO4) a chemical salt. NB When writing chemical formula; single letter elemental symbols are ALWEAYS a CAPITAL letter. Hence Hydrogen is ' H ' Sulphur is ' S'. Oxygen is 'O' Two letter elemental chemical symbols are always, first letter a CAPITAL letter, and the second letter is small/lower case; e.g. sodium 'Na' (Nadium ; Latin). This is the international standard and therefore understood 'world wide'.


What is the base for H2SO4?

The base for H2SO4 is HSO4-, which is the conjugate base of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). It is formed when one hydrogen ion is removed from sulfuric acid.


Is h2so4 a acid or base?

H2SO4 is a strong acid known as sulfuric acid


What is the reaction between ammonia and sulfuric acid?

The reaction between ammonia (NH3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) produces ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4]. This reaction is an acid-base neutralization reaction where ammonia acts as a base and sulfuric acid as an acid, resulting in the formation of a salt.


What base neautralizes sulfuric acid?

A base is any oxide of a Group (I) or (II) metal ,such as K2O or MgO. As a general formula it is ' M2O ' or ' MO '. NB Do not confuse a base with an alkali. An alkali is a soluble base. e.g. M2O + H2O = 2MOH or MO + H2O = M(OH)2 'M' is the given metal. NNB The general acid reactions are Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water (again). Also Acid + metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide.


Is H2SO4 a base?

No, H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is not a base; it is an acid. It is a strong acid that donates protons in aqueous solutions.


Is sulfuric acid a bronsted-lowry acid or base?

What are the differences between ammonia and sulfuric acid?

Ammonia is a weak base, while sulfuric acid is a strong acid. Ammonia is a compound made of nitrogen and hydrogen, while sulfuric acid is made of sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen. Ammonia has a pungent smell, while sulfuric acid is odorless.
