Write the electrolytic dissociation

Question

Write the electrolytic dissociationof of the following acids and name the anions :

Nitric acid

Sulfuric acid

Phosphoric acid

Carbonic acid

Answer 1

Electrolysis is different from electrolytic dissociation, so I'll assume you mean the latter.

Nitric acid = HNO₃: HNO₃ ==> H⁺ + NO₃^-. The anion is nitrate

Sulfuric acid = H₂SO₄: H₂SO₄ ==> H⁺ + HSO₄^- ==> H⁺ + SO₄^2-, The HSO₄^- is bisulfate (or hydrogen sulfate) and SO₄^2- is sulfate

Phosphoric acid = H₃PO₄: H₃PO₄ ==> H⁺ + H₂PO₄^- ==> H⁺ + HPO₄^2- ==> H⁺ + PO₄^3-.

H₂PO₄^- is dihydrogen phosphate, HPO₄^2- is hydrogen phosphate and PO₄^3- is phosphate

Carbonic acid = H₂CO₃: H₂CO₃ ==> H⁺ + HCO₃^- ==> H⁺ + CO₃^2-. HCO₃^- is bicarbonate and CO₃^2- is carbonate
