Having troubles answering this one.

Describe and explain the exothermic nature of sulfuric acid.


Plz give a detailed answer and quick LOL

 

[underthesun]

Are you sure that's in the syllabus? Is that from The Acidic Environment?

 

[Phycisist]

YEP

Yes it is under Industrial Chemistry though.

 

[underthesun]

Oh..

then in that case, it's probably that H₂SO₄ gives off heat when it ionises?

 

[hipsta_jess]

hmm..not sure..take a look at www.hsc.csu.edu.au/chemistry/index.htm

 

[~[TaLeC]~]

As sulfuric acid is a strong acid, it ionises nearly completely in solution...the ionisation of H2SO4 is exothermic as H2SO4 basically has a strong affinity to water...

I think that's all you can cover on that point, cause that's all the textbook wants to explain...

for any dotpoint...consult your textbook...

 

[abdooooo!!!]

conq chem has a very detailed explaination on it (page 325 in chapter 9) have a look at that if you have it.
