question 3

Multiple Choice

Choose the true statement concerning the relative acid strengths of H₂SO₄ and H₂SO_3.

• A) H₂SO₄ is a stronger acid than H₂SO₃ because the S in H₂SO₄ has a more positive oxidation state than the S in H₂SO₃ which influences the polarity of the O-H bonds.
• B) H₂SO₄ is a weaker acid than H₂SO₃ because the S in H₂SO₄ has a more positive oxidation state than the S in H₂SO₃ which influences the polarity of the O-H bonds.
• C) H₂SO₄ is a stronger acid than H₂SO₃ because the S in H₂SO₄ has a less positive oxidation state than the S in H₂SO₃ which influences the polarity of the O-H bonds.
• D) H₂SO₄ is a weaker acid than H₂SO₃ because the S in H₂SO₄ has a more negative oxidation state than the S in H₂SO₃ which influences the polarity of the O-H bonds.
