Answer: The concentration of sulfate ions in the solution is 0.010 M
Explanation:
The chemical formula of sulfuric acid solution is [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex]
We are given:
Concentration of sulfuric acid = 0.010 M
The chemical equation for the ionization of sulfuric acid follows:
[tex]H_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow 2H^+(aq.)+SO_4^{2-}(aq.)[/tex]
1 mole of sulfuric acid produces 2 moles of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of sulfate ions
Concentration of sulfate ions = (1 × 0.010) = 0.010 M
Hence, the concentration of sulfate ions in the solution is 0.010 M
