Why is sodium sulfate a neutral salt - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Sep 5, 2015 · $$\ce{HSO4- (aq) + H2O <-> H3O+ (aq) + SO4^2- (aq)}$$ The sulfate ion should be a weak conjugate base, and hence the sodium sulfate salt should be a weak base. This …
Why does copper sulfate disassociate into Cu+2 and SO4-2 when …
Aug 17, 2017 · Basically $\ce{CuSO4}$ already exists as $\ce{Cu^{2+}}$ and $\ce{SO4^{2-}}$. It's anhydride form exists as an orthorhombic arrangement of ions. The opposite charge attraction …
How does H2SO4 dissociate? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Jun 17, 2018 · My question is, why can't the dissociation reaction happen like this: $$\ce{H2SO4 -> 2H^+ +SO4^{2-}}$$ I know hydrogen is a diatomic gas, but here I don't know if H will …
resonance - Why (SO4)^2- does not create 4 double bonds
Mar 20, 2019 · This leaves behind the sulfate ion: $$\ce{H2SO4 -> 2H+ + SO4^2-}$$ When the $\ce{H^+}$ ion departs, it leaves its electron behind, so it has to go somewhere (it remains …
redox - Can we oxidize oxygen? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
In the equation $\ce{2SO4^2- -> S2O8^2- + 2e-}$ sulfate is being oxidized. This is different from oxygen being oxidized. The statement in the OP "In this reaction 2 of the oxygen ions change …
