Answer 2

Answer 3

H2O --> O2
H2SO4 would probably release SO4 2- I think... But it may also break down the H2SO4 to give SO3 and H2O, which further gives O2....

Answer 4

Then O2?

Answer 5

My deduction is either SO4^2- or O2...

Answer 6

It depends on the condition.
SO4^2- + 4H^+ + 2e <--> SO2 + 2H2O E˚ = +0.17V
So in the presence of a strong oxidizing agent, it is possible to get O2

Answer 7

Thank you!
