This is from p block chapter!!
why is Ka2 of H2SO4 less than Ka1in water??
 

Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

Not clear with the question.Plz clear it.

The heights by the great men reached and kept were not attained by a sudden flight ,but they while their companions slept were toiling upwards in the night.

quite simple.....
 
u know abt conjugate acid and bases, right?? u also know that all try to reach stability .., right?/
 same here....
 
H2SO4 is a quite strong acid, so after losing one H+ , it becomes HSO4- and it has more tendency to get one H+ rather than losing it...   on the other hand , water is aphoteric substance weak in both, OH- is a very strong base, so water has a tendency to form it. hence, its ka1 is more.
 
i hope it is  clear??

H2SO4 CAN IONISE IN 2 STEPS.
 
so during the ionisation, why is Ka2 of H2SO4 less than Ka1?
 
ka- dissociation constant

i know ka is dissociation constant of acids........
 
is my answer not clear??
 
tell me where doubt is??
i will try to explain it in a diff way

Ka1 of H2SO4 is higher and its a very strong acid. So theres already a very high conc. of H+ ions. So now the further dissociation of the HSO4- is depressed due to common-ion effect. So the second dissociation is very small, and reaches equilibrium very fast. Hence Ka2 is very small, implying HSO4- is a very weak acid.

A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure. So imagine how brilliant a human being can be by sustaining pressures of life. Be hopeful.. and fight till end.
