Question

Is H2SO4 amphiprotic?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

It is

Answer 3

because i was confused wether Na2So4 was a acidic or basic. It should be neutral but a pH test said it was baic

Answer 4

Na2SO4 occurs when NaOH and H2SO4 react. both are strong bases and acids producing weak conjugate acids and bases so shouldnt it have been neutral?

Answer 5

but the ph test indicated it had a ph of 9 :S

Answer 6

any idea?

Answer 7

let me rephrase my question. there is a salt Na2SO4. will its solution be acidic neutral or basic?

Answer 8

? anyone here ?

Answer 9

Neutral

Answer 10

Neutral? I dunno

Answer 11

Even if its a weak anything, neutral requires it to be exactly 7. I think the LEO GER or OIL RIG (oxidiation/reduction) principles may help.

Answer 12

Also, pH applies to solids too right?

Answer 13

Na2SO4, or sodium sulfate, is a salt formed in a neutralization reaction with sulfuric acid (an acid) and sodium hydroxide (a base). So it is neither an acid or base, it is a salt.

Answer 14

YES! its amphoteric!

Answer 15

should explain that. im confused.

Answer 16

Which one? and thx for the medal
