Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the compound in question: H2SO4, which is sulfuric acid.
Understand that dissociation refers to the process where a compound breaks down into its ions in solution.
Recognize that sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid and typically dissociates completely in water.
The dissociation of H2SO4 in water can be represented by the equation: H2SO4(l) → 2 H+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq).
Note that the images provided show the dissociation of H2SO4 into ions, specifically forming 2 H+ ions and one SO4^2- ion, which is consistent with the typical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water.
