Chapter 18: Q94 E (page 1047)

Which is a stronger acid, sulfurous acid or sulfuric acid? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified


\({\rm{SO}}_4^ - \) is the stronger acid because of stability\({\rm{SO}}_4^ - \)of ion.

Step by step solution

01

To find the stronger acid.

\({{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_4}\)is much stronger acid then the\({{\rm{H}}_2}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_3}\)because there is an extra double bonded oxygen atom on the sulfur atom in sulfuric acid.

The unprotonated \(O\)helps with delocalization of electron in deprotonated ion making the\(SO_4^{2 - }\)ion more stable than the\(SO_3^{2 - }\)ion.
