MCQ
$pH$ of $ 0.005\, M\,\,{H_2}S{O_4}$ solution will be
  • A
    $0.005$
  • $2$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $0.01$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2$
b
$H _2 SO _4$ is a strong, diprotic acid. The equation for its ionization is

$H _2 SO _{4( aq )} \longrightarrow 2 H ^{+}+ SO _4^{2-}$

Since the equation tells us that each molecule of acid will produce $2$ hydrogen ions, the concentration of the $H ^{+}$ion must be $2 \times 0.0050 \,M$ or $0.010 \,M$

Using the definition of $pH =-\log H ^{+}=-\log (0.010\, M )=2$
