Chapter 18, Problem 18.28P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Autoionization reaction is to be explained, the equation is to be written for the an autoionization reactions of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$.

Concept introduction:

Autoionization reaction:

Same molecule gets dissociates very slightly and forms ions in an equilibrium process known as autoionization (or self-ionization).
