Hydrogensulphate

[Primarygun]

In a beaker of solution, Each sulphuric acid almost completely ionizes to give two H+ ion when the solution is not at a high concentration.

What I want to ask is, if the concentration of a salt in a solution is very high while the concentration of sulphuric acid is very low, what will the ionization go?

Completely or just give one H+ per molecule?

[budullewraagh]

what salt are we considering? if it's sulfate/bisulfate, there will be less ionization by the sulfuric acid.

 

btw, H2SO4 almost always ionizes to H+ and HSO4-. very little of that HSO4- ionizes further to H+ and SO4-2.

[jdurg]

Yeah. H2SO4 is a strong acid, but HSO4- is a pretty weak acid.

[Primarygun]

But will the concentration of other soluble substance such as (NaCl) affect the rate of the ionization of hydrogensulphate ion? (HSO4-)

Moreover, if the concentration of the sulphuric acid is very higher, many hydrogensulphate ions are not able to ionize. However, in a reaction, the equilibrium goes forward to the right one if the reactants are more than the product. If looking at these two factors, I guess ionization is not a kind of reaction, right? However, new substances are really formed, what's the fact?

[budullewraagh]

yes, if the anion is HSO4- or SO4-2

ionization is a reaction...

[Primarygun]

Oh, so one kind of the reactions goes faster while the other goes slower.

And the overall rate is speeded.
