Answer to Question #192548 in General Chemistry for Joseph

Question

Why is hydrogen tetraoxosulphate (vi) regarded to as aquafortis

Answer 1

We know that as an acid - $H_2SO_4$ is dibasic and ionizes almost completely in solution this makes it a strong acid.

Due to it being dibasic, it forms two kinds of salts with alkalis. Reactive metals would displace hydrogen from dilute tetraoxosulphate(VI)
