Acidic property of sulphuric acid is due to _________(sulphate/hydronium) ion.

Open in App

Solution

$H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ in aqueous solution ionizes completely to form $H_{3} O^{+}$ .
The $H_{3} O^{+}$ imparts the acidic nature of $H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ .
So, Acidic property of sulphuric acid is due to hydronium ion.
