If 
and 
of H 2 SO 4 are 10 – 2 and 10 – 6 respectively at a certain temperature, then :
A
> 
because it is easy to abstract H + from H 2 SO 4 and less easy to abstract H + from HSO 4 – .
B
and 
may be measured in acetic acid.
C
and 
are measured in H 2 O.
D
the H + ion conc. of 0.01 M H 2 SO 4 will be less than 0.02 M.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
(a,b,d)
H 2 SO 4 is a strong acid and it completely dissociated in H 2 O. Hence its 
and 
are determined in CH 3 COOH.
Also H 2 SO 4 is neutral while HSO 4 – because the –ve charge has more affinity towards H + ion. Hence choices and are correct while is incorrect.
