Choose the True Statement Concerning the Relative Acid Strengths of H₂SO₄

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.
