Why is HSO4 a weaker acid than H2SO4?
You can only get your answer in terms of the acid ionization constant, K_a. The K_a of H2SO4 is immeasurably high and the K_a of HSO4- is 1.3x10^-2. The higher the K_a, the stronger the acid. Therefore, H2SO4 is the stronger acid. Just a slight correction to the question, there is no HSO4. It exists as an ion HSO4-
Is HSO4- a weak acid?
no it is a strong acid
Is hso4 a strong or weak acid?
HSO4- is a stronger acid than NH4+
Is HSO4 and acid?
HSO4, the bisulfate ion is acidic.
What is the conjugate acid of so4 2-?
The conjugate acid of SO4^2- is HSO4^-

What is the conjugate acid for HSO4?
H2SO4 is already a strong acid.If you mean what is the conjugate base, then the answer is HSO4-
What is the products of NH42S and H2O?
NH4 and HSO4
What is Polyprotic acid?
An acid which has the capability of donating not just one, but TWO H+ to a base during an acid-base reaction. eg. Sulfuric acid and excess water H2SO4 + H2O --> HSO4- + H3O+ THEN: HSO4- + H2O <--> SO4^2- + H3O+ (note the reversible arrow for the second one) POLYPROTIC acids: diprotic - can donate 2 hydrogen cations per molecule triprotic - can donate 3.. etc.
Which molecule is acting as an acid is the following reaction H2O plus H2SO4 H3O plus plus HSO4?
In this case the H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is acting as an acid. The acid loses a hydrogen ion, and the base gains one.
What are the chemicals for a cloud?
I don't think there is a chemical in a cloud because it is a droplets water (H2O) however when pollution mixes with the rain it produce an acid rain containing Sulfuric Acid (HSO4)
Why can hso4 - be both a base and an acid?
HSO4 can act as a base by gaining a hydrogen ion to make H2SO4. HSO4 can act as an acid by losing a hydrogen ion to make SO4.
What molecule or ion that can act as either an acid or a base is referred to as?
Sush molecules are H2O, and C2H5OH, ions are HCO3- and HSO4- .
