Question

Write an equilibrium equation that shows bisulfate acting as a weak acid in water.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisulphate ion is a weak acid as it can form hydronium ion in water .

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄⁻² + H₃O⁺

The equilibrium constant of this reaction is very small , hence bisulphate ion is very weak acid.
