Identify the compound given: H2SO4, which is sulfuric acid.
Understand that sulfuric acid is a strong acid and typically dissociates completely in water.
The dissociation of H2SO4 in water can be represented by the chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) → 2 H+ (aq) + SO4^2- (aq).
Note that the dissociation results in the formation of two hydrogen ions (H+) and one sulfate ion (SO4^2-).
The images provided show different dissociation equations, but the correct dissociation of H2SO4 in water is the one that produces 2 H+ ions and 1 SO4^2- ion.
