Hydrogensulphate

In a beaker of solution, Each sulphuric acid almost completely ionizes to give two H+ ion when the solution is not at a high concentration.

What I want to ask is, if the concentration of a salt in a solution is very high while the concentration of sulphuric acid is very low, what will the ionization go?

Completely or just give one H+ per molecule?

what salt are we considering? if it's sulfate/bisulfate, there will be less ionization by the sulfuric acid.

 

btw, H2SO4 almost always ionizes to H+ and HSO4-. very little of that HSO4- ionizes further to H+ and SO4-2.

Yeah. H2SO4 is a strong acid, but HSO4- is a pretty weak acid.

But will the concentration of other soluble substance such as (NaCl) affect the rate of the ionization of hydrogensulphate ion? (HSO4-)

Moreover, if the concentration of the sulphuric acid is very higher, many hydrogensulphate ions are not able to ionize. However, in a reaction, the equilibrium goes forward to the right one if the reactants are more than the product. If looking at these two factors, I guess ionization is not a kind of reaction, right? However, new substances are really formed, what's the fact?

Oh, so one kind of the reactions goes faster while the other goes slower.

And the overall rate is speeded.
