Lol thanks i understand it and surely won't forgetRemember that H2SO4 is a dehydrating agent, it'll remove that OH and you'll end up with a double bond...
I'll leave it up to you to find the answer: you'll remember it better...
Oops..................My mistake......Sorry!!!Dude read the question carefully: it say HSO4^- is acting as a base; that is where the whole problem started form!
i still dont get why the answer is A! could you please explain! in rxn 1 water donates proton hence its an acid..therefore Hso2 will be its conjugate base. ok this makes sense. in rxn 2 Hso3 is losing its proton so doesnt that make it an acid? its rxn two in confused in if anyone could help me out with it.But shouldn't you be able to explain that in terms of the Bronsted Lowery theory of bases, or in terms of Lewis bases.
I can't explain it with either!
That old 'base releases OH^-' ions thing is...well..old.
Same here, i'm doomed for paper 1paper 1 is pulling me down
