It has the molecular formula H2SO4. It is soluble in water at all concentrations to form a sulfuric acid solution. In the solution, a mole of sulfuric acid separates into a mole of negatively charged sulfate ions, or SO4(2-), and 2 moles of positively charged hydronium ions, or H3O+.

Answer : Yes , solution of
H_2SO_4 contains ions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ionization reaction of sulfuric acid is given by the chemical equation, which follows:


H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2H^+(aq)+SO_4^(2-)(aq)

The sulfuric acid solution contains
H^+\&SO_4^(2-) ions.

By stiochoimetery of the reaction;

In 2 mole of sulfuric acid solution there are 1 mole of [trex]H^+[/tex] ions and 1 mole of sulfate ions (
SO_4^(2-)).
