Question

2. Why is HSO4- stronger base than HS-?

(a) In a series of oxybases with the same central atom, the base with more O atoms is stronger.

(b) In a series of oxybases with the same central atom, the base with less O atoms is stronger.

(c)H2SO4 is a stronger acid than H2S, so HS- is the stronger conjugate base.

(d) H2S is a stronger acid than H2SO4, so HSO4- is the stronger conjugate base.

(e) Since H2S is one of the seven strong acids, HS- is a negligible base.

(f) Since H2SO4 is one of the seven strong acids, HSO4- is a negligible base.

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

In the oxybases the base with more number of oxygen is stronger therefore the answer is option A

(a) In a series of oxybases with the same central atom, the base with more O atoms is stronger.
