Question

Dilute sulphuric acid splits into

• A. Oxygen ons and hydrogen ions
• B. Oxygen ions, hydrogen ions and sulphur ions
• C. Hydrogen ions, oxygen ions and sulphate
• D. Hydrogen ions and sulphate ions

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Hydrogen ions and sulphate ions

Correct option is D: Oxygen ons and hydrogen ions

Explanation:

1. Sulphuric acid has the formula $H_{2}S{O}_4$, and as we can see, it contains Hydrogen, Sulphur, and Oxygen ions.
2. So, after electrolysis, it will break into hydrogen ion and sulphate ion as a reaction given.$H_{2}S{O}_4\to 2H^{+}+S{O_4}^{-2}$

Hence option D is correct
