Predict the products of the reaction when hydrogen sulfate acting as a Brønsted-Lowry base reacts with hydrogen phosphate acting as a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
(1) dihydrogen sulfate ion and phosphoric acid
(2) sulfuric acid and phosphate ion
(3) dihydrogen phosphate ion and sulfate ion
(4) sulfate ion and phosphoric acid
(5) sulfuric acid and dihydrogen phosphate ion
Given
HSO 4- acts as a Base.
HPO42- acts as a acid.
According to Bronsted Lowry concept , 1) acid as a substance which donate a proton & 2) Base is a compound which accept a proton.
From given information & using definitions of acid base , we get reaction as shown below.
HPO42- (aq) + HSO 4- PO 43- (aq) + H2SO 4 (aq)
Products of above reaction are 1) Phosphate ion ( PO 43- ) and 2) Sulfuric acid ( H2SO 4 )
Hence, answer is option 2 ) Sulfuric acid and Phosphate ion
