Can SO42 act as an acid and base?
-2
What is SO4 2 called?
Sulfate ion is a very weak base, while HSO−4 is a fairly strong acid, with Ka=0.01. On the other hand, H2SO4 is a very strong acid. Because it is such a weak base, sulfate ion undergoes negligible hydrolysis in aqueous solution.
Can SO4 2 be oxidized?
Oxygen and fluorine electron-pair donors are hard bases, nitrogen and chlorine donors are intermediate bases, and carbon, phosphorous, sulfur, bromine, and iodine donors are soft bases. Copper(II) is a borderline acid and copper(I) is a soft acid.
Sulfate. Sulfate ion is a very weak base, while HSO4- is a fairly strong acid, with Ka = 0.01. Because it is such a weak base, sulfate ion undergoes negligible hydrolysis in aqueous solution.
Is SO4 2 an acid?
Re: （SO4）2-，（HSO4）-， H2SO4， Actually (HSO4)- can form H2SO4, but only when it is acting as a base, if it is acting as an acid then it would form (SO4)2-, the conjugate base of H2SO4 is HSO4- so therefore HSO4- can form H2SO4 but only when it is acting as a base.
