Question

Sulfuric acid can dissociate (break apart) into a sulfate ion and hydrogen ions which lowers the pH causing acidic environments that are very harmful to many ecosystems.

H2SO4 → SO42- + H+
What type of chemical reaction is this?
How do you know?

Answer 1

Thermal decomposition

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not completely sure but I have gone with this because one compound is breaking down into it's components due to heat. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
