Question

How the following substances will dissociate to produce ions in their solution.
(i) Hydrochloric acid ($HCl$)
(ii) Nitric acid $\left(\text{HN}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}\right)$
(iii) Sulphuric acid $\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}\right)$

Answer 1

(i) Hydrochloric Acid $\left(HCl\right)$:-

$HCl\left(aq\right)\rightleftharpoons H^{+}+C{l}^{-}$

(ii) Nitric Acid $\left(HN{O}_3\right)$:-

$HN{O}_3\left(aq\right)\rightleftharpoons H^{+}+N{O}_3^{-}$

(iii) Sulphuric acid $\left(H_{2}S{O}_4\right)$:-

$H_{2}S{O}_4\left(aq\right)\rightleftharpoons 2H^{+}+S{O}_4^{2-}$
