Expert's answer

using equation, show the formation of hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution of tetraoxosulphate (iv) acid

Solution:


H2SO4+H2OH3O++HSO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4} + \mathrm{H_2O} \rightarrow \mathrm{H_3O^+} + \mathrm{HSO_4^-}HSO4+H2OH3O++SO42\mathrm{HSO_4^-} + \mathrm{H_2O} \rightarrow \mathrm{H_3O^+} + \mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}


Tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid, being dissolved in water dissociates with formation of hydroxonium ions H3O+\mathrm{H_3O^+}. By the way, you have a mistake in description of the problem: tetraoxosulphate (iv) acid is nonexistent compound, tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid is correct way of writing.
