Solution

The correct option is C 2
H2SO4 is a strong, diprotic acid. The equation for its ionization is
H2SO4(aq)⟶2H++SO2−4
Since the equation tells us that each molecule of acid will produce 2 hydrogen ions, the concentration of the H+ ion must be 2x0.0050M or 0.010M
Using the definition of pH=-logH+=−log(0.010M) =2
