Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) -> Fe(II)SO4(aq) + H2(g)

 

 

how does H2 exist as positive ion??

 

is it a diatomic ion or as a single atom ion in the solution??

 

thx alot

if you used the proper equation for a solution of sulphuric acid it would be

2H+(aq) + SO4-(aq)

 

so it exists as 2 hydrogen ions no diatomic ions afaik

Hmm.. the really odd part is that I`ve done this reaction myself, and I don`t ever recall seeing Any gas liberated ?

YT, I think iron is not a very reactive metal, you might need to heat the whole thing up.

 

Cheers :)
