- `What products are yielded in nearly every acid/base neutralization reaction? salt and carbon dioxide water and salt carbon dioxide and water Oil and water or none of thesearrow_forwardFill in the Blanks Type your answers in all of the blanks and submit When sulfurous acid, H2SO4 is dissolved in water it undergoes stepwise dissociation, initially giving up its first proton the in the reaction: H2SO3(aq) + H20(aq) = H30 (aq) + HSO, (aq) The resulting HSO, (aq) species is amphoteric in solution and can thus react with water as either an acid or as a base. The equilibrium expressions below show these 2 scenarios. Identify whether HSO, (aq) behaves as an acid or as a base in these reactions.
